Neodymium iron boron magnets are widely used in many fields such as electric motors, speakers, and hard disk drives due to their extremely high magnetic force. However, regardless of whether they are large or small, neodymium magnets pose a certain degree of danger due to their strong magnetic force, so extra caution must be exercised when using them.
The most distinctive feature of neodymium magnets is their powerful magnetic force. The magnetic force of neodymium magnets is several times, or even dozens of times, stronger than that of other common magnetic materials. Even small neodymium magnets possess sufficient magnetic force to cause harm to the human body. If two neodymium magnets are placed too close together, the attraction between them becomes extremely strong, making collisions highly likely. Especially in areas such as the hands, eyes, or other sensitive parts of the body, the intense magnetic force may cause cuts or injuries.

For large neodymium magnets, the danger is even more obvious. Their powerful attraction can not only quickly attract surrounding metal objects, but also cause huge impact forces. This force can sometimes be fatal to humans, especially in industrial environments or heavy machinery operations, where misoperation can lead to even more serious accidents.
Neodymium magnets are often mistaken for harmless small toys due to their small size and diverse shapes. However, in fact, small-sized neodymium magnets may cause serious health problems such as intestinal perforation, internal bleeding, and other serious injuries if ingested or swallowed by children.
Pets at home may also face the same risks if they accidentally swallow small neodymium magnets. Especially for animals, since they cannot express pain or discomfort, the harm caused by neodymium magnets may be overlooked, leading to more severe consequences.
Both large neodymium magnets and small neodymium magnets are relatively brittle and prone to rupture under force or collision. Especially for small-sized neodymium magnets, once broken, sharp fragments may not only puncture the skin, but also cause damage to the eyes and other areas. Even large-sized neodymium magnets may cause fragments to splash and cause more serious injuries when damaged.
Is there more? Of course. The strong magnetic field of neodymium magnets can also interfere with electronic devices and appliances, causing damage or malfunction.
To reduce the risks associated with the use of neodymium magnets, appropriate safety measures must be taken. For small neodymium magnets, they should be stored in places where children cannot access them. For large neodymium magnets, appropriate tools should be used for handling and operation to avoid direct contact with the hands.
