SHEIN Distribution Corporation has recalled bear-shaped decorative refrigerator magnets because the products contain loose high-powered magnets, the Consumer Product Safety Commission says. The agency lists a full refund after the buyer confirms the recalled magnets were thrown away.
The recall covers a small, named product line, not all magnets or all items purchased through SHEIN. The CPSC’s September 10 notice identifies the SKU, packaging quantities, sale period and remedy.
The product has a specific SKU and package count
The CPSC notice calls the product Bear-Shaped Decorative Refrigerator Magnets sold in packages of 10, 20 or 30. It gives SKU sh2403211731230106 and says the magnets came in various colors in small plastic bags.
The CPSC says the products violate the mandatory standard for magnets because they contain loose magnets that can appeal to children or teens. If high-powered magnets are swallowed, they can attract one another or other metal objects inside the body, leading to serious injuries including perforations, twisting or blockage of the intestines.
The unit count is 4,640, according to the agency. The relatively small count is not a reason to disregard the product match: a recall applies to the listed item even when it is not one of the largest national actions of the month.
The CPSC identifies the SKU as sh2403211731230106. It says the decorative bear magnets came in packs of 10, 20 or 30 and were sold online at SHEIN.com from May 2025 through February 2026 for about $3 to $4. Those narrow sales details help separate the recalled item from other bear-themed refrigerator decorations and from magnets sold by other retailers.
The agency reports no injuries in the notice. Its action is based on the mandatory magnet standard and the risk created when loose high-powered magnets are accessible, not on a reported injury count. That distinction explains why a matching item should be handled under the recall instructions even if the household has not experienced a problem.

The listed remedy is a full refund after disposal confirmation
The notice tells consumers to stop using the magnets, take them away from children and contact SHEIN for a full refund. Buyers are asked to affirm that they threw the recalled magnets away. This disposal confirmation is part of the remedy described by the primary source.
The CPSC does not publish a universal refund dollar amount in the notice. It says the magnets were sold online at SHEIN.com from May 2025 through February 2026 for between $3 and $4. The full-refund statement is the verified remedy; the sales range is not a promised payment amount for any unrelated product.
The date and retailer define the scope
The magnets were sold online at SHEIN.com, not through a general nationwide retail network, the agency says. The listed sales period ended in February 2026, yet the recall was posted on September 10, which means an older purchase can still be relevant when it matches the SKU and description.
No incidents or injuries were reported in the notice. The agency nonetheless states that federal law prohibits selling products subject to a recall, so the product should not be passed on, resold or donated in place of using the official remedy route.
The CPSC lists a SHEIN telephone number, two email addresses and the company’s product-recalls page. A current recall contact is more reliable than seeking a refund through a marketplace listing, since the listing may not identify the required SKU or the disposal-confirmation step.
The product’s sales period, May 2025 through February 2026, means the date of purchase can be older than the recall. The relevant check is whether the buyer has the 10-, 20- or 30-piece bear-shaped magnet product with the specified SKU, not whether the purchase was made in September.
Because the remedy requires a disposal affirmation, the official instructions distinguish this safety return from an ordinary change-of-mind retail return. The page, not an abbreviated retailer email, supplies the scope and current remedy.
The CPSC page is the controlling source
As of September 15, the official CPSC page continues to list the recall, the 4,640-unit total and the full-refund process. That current record supports the exact headline and confines it to the named bear-shaped magnets rather than all refrigerator decorations.
The CPSC’s recall number is 26-760. Keeping that number with the SKU and package description is a practical way to preserve the scope of the verified source.
Four dates on a settlement notice
Only one of them is the deadline that matters, and the other three are what make people miss it.
