Pura Scents said that the magnets on the inside cover of the
product can detach, posing an ingestion hazard to children. When
high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can
attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in
the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting
or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and
death.
The company has received three reports of magnets detaching from
the cover. No injuries have been reported.
The diffusers were sold at Target, Scheels and other stores
nationwide from August 2023 through May 2025 for about $50. They
were also sold online through Pura's website, as well as online
at Amazon, Target and Scheels.
Pura Scents is offering a free replacement cover. Consumers are
advised to immediately dispose of the existing detachable cover
and to keep the diffusers out of the reach of children and pets.
To receive the free replacement cover, individuals may contact
Pura Scents at 855-394-5292 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT Monday
through Friday. The company can also be emailed at replacement@pura.com.
Consumers may also visit the company's website and click on
