OPSSThis comes as another stocking filler sold on Amazon was recalled as it came with a "serious risk of injuries and choking".
Those who had bought water balloons from Temu were urged to check their purchase as some packs are unsafe to use.
The OPSS said: "The product presents a serious risk of injuries and choking as when tested, the product broke apart when minimal force was applied, allowing access to the magnets."These magnets were found to have a magnetic flux index greater than the maximum permissible level.
"Small, high-powered magnetic products can easily be swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract."
