Electrical conductivity
Magnets are made of metal and conduct electricity.
Children might try to put magnets into a power outlet
and thereby suffer from an electric shock. Magnets are
not toys! Make sure that children don’t play with magnets.

Contusions
Big magnets have a very strong attractive force.
•  Unsafe handling could cause jamming of fingers
  or skin in between magnets.
  This may lead to contusions and bruises.
•  Powerful, very large magnets could cause bone    
  fractures. Wear heavy protective gloves when  

  handling larger magnets.

Pacemaker
Magnets could affect the functioning of pacemakers
and implanted heart defibrillators.
•  A pacemaker could switch into test mode and cause illness.
•  A heart defibrillator may stop working.
•  If you wear these devices keep sufficient distance    
  to magnets.
•  Warn others who wear these devices from getting
  too close to magnets.

Heavy objects
Too heavy loads, symptoms of fatigue as well as material 
defect, could cause a magnet or magnetic hook to loosen 
from the surface that it was attached to.
Falling objects could lead to serious injuries.
•  The indicated adhesive force applies only to ideal    
  conditions. Allow for a high safety cushion. 
•  Don’t use magnets in places where people could    
  sustain injuries in case of material failure.

Magnetic field
Magnets produce a far-reaching, strong magnetic 
field. They could damage TVs and laptops, computer 
hard drives, credit and ATM cards, data storage media, 
mechanical watches, hearing aids and speakers.
•  Keep magnets away from devices and objects  

  that could be damaged by strong magnetic fields.
•  Please refer to our table of recommended distances: 
 www.supermagnete.ch/eng/faq/distance

Airfreight
Magnetic fields of improperly packaged magnets
could influence airplane navigation devices.
In the worst case it could lead to an accident.
•  Airfreight magnets only in packaging with sufficient  
  magnetic shielding.
•  Please refer to the respective regulations:
 www.supermagnete.ch/eng/faq/airfreight

Postage
Magnetic fields of improperly packaged magnets
could cause disturbances in sorting machines and 
damage fragile goods in other packages.
•  Please refer to our shipping tips.
•  Use a large box and place the magnet in the middle  
  surrounded by lots of padding material.
•  Arrange magnets in a package in a way that the    
  magnetic fields neutralize each other.
•  If necessary, use sheet iron to shield the
  magnetic field.
•  There are stricter rules for airfreight:
  Refer to the warning notice ‘’Airfreight’’.
