Pura Diffuser Recall Lawsuit | 2025 Latest Updates

What’s the Problem?

This concerns the recall of detachable covers from Pura 4 Smart Home Fragrance Diffusers due to magnets that can detach and pose a serious ingestion hazard to children. These high-powered magnets, if swallowed, can attract within the digestive tract and cause intestinal perforations, blockages, infections, or even death.

Although three reports of magnet detachment have been submitted, no injuries have been reported thus far. We are actively investigating potential claims involving intestinal injury, surgical intervention, emotional harm, and wrongful death.

CPSC Reports and Safety Details

The recall was issued because Pura covers contain five embedded magnets (three small, two larger) that can detach from the detachable front panel. Swallowed high-powered magnets pose severe internal risks including twisting and perforating the gastrointestinal tract. The public safety notice advises consumers to discard the detachable cover immediately, keep the diffuser away from children and pets, and obtain a free, magnet-free replacement cover from Pura.

• Hazard: Magnet ingestion—risk of intestinal injury, perforation, infection, or death
• Remedy: Replacement cover provided free upon consumer request; dispose of recalled cover
