• Zen Fidget Magnetic Ball Sets Recalled For Magnet Ingestion (foodpoisoningbulletin.com) — Valley Stream residents should know a local distributor, Gordon Sinclair, handled Zen Fidget Magnetic Ball Sets that are now recalled for serious magnet-ingestion risks to children. About 1,000 sets were given away nationwide late last year, and families are urged to double-bag and discard any they still have at home immediately.
