Use care when magnets come together
Our products use magnets to aid with positioning and alignment. Because magnets can attract to each other, and other objects – please use care when handling them. Please be aware of the potential pinching hazard that can occur when two magnets come into close proximity or make contact. Magnets possess attractive forces that can cause them to snap together suddenly, creating a pinching effect that may result in injury to fingers, skin, or other objects caught in between. Store them apart or attach to the Deskpad when not in use. Keep them away from children and do not use them for any other purpose than they were designed for – as a positioning tool for NUIO products.
Also, please review our note about possible magnetic interference with medical devices here.
