Recently, neodymium magnets are often found in XNUMX-yen shops.
Although it is useful because it is small in size and has a strong magnetic force, it requires careful handling as described above.
Please note that there is a risk of ignition due to powdering as well as the risk of accidental ingestion.
Neodymium magnets are very rusty, so the surface is plated, but the plating may peel off due to impact or deterioration over time.
If the peeled surface is left unattended, the magnet will become powdery (see Fig. XNUMX).

If powdered magnets collect, they may catch fire, so please stop using damaged neodymium magnets and dispose of them.
We can also dispose of it, so if you have any problems disposing of magnets, please contact us at the following.
