The magnets listed on our website are much more powerful than most people imagine and need to be handled with extreme care.

Before purchasing magnets, particularly of the Neodymium variety, please observe the following safety instructions:

• Large Rare Earth Neodymium magnets can be attracted to other magnets or metal objects from  a distance of 30cm and can easily severe fingers or cause other serious injuries. We suggest that at all times you are aware of your immediate surroundings and ensure that your magnets don't snap together.

• Withstanding their relatively strong Copper Nickel coating, Rare Earth Neodymium magnets that are allowed to snap together will chip and shatter causing small sharp pieces to become airborne. It is suggested that you wear protective eyewear when handling larger Neodymium magnets.

• Always keep magnets away from any sort of storage device, including desktop or laptop computers, VHS tapes, iPod's and credit cards.

• People with pacemakers must absolutely not be anywhere near a magnet let alone handle them.
