DENVER (AP) — An administrative law judge is siding with a Colorado company that was ordered to recall more than 900,000 powerful, small magnets that a federal agency said could harm children.

The administrative law judge says consumers were properly warned not to swallow the magnets or misuse them.

The ruling contradicts a federal court ruling that Zen Magnets LLC and its owner, Shihan Qu, violated the Consumer Product Safety Act by repackaging and selling magnets that were purchased from a New Jersey company before the magnets were recalled.

The U.S. Justice Department said putting the magnets in a different box and calling them a different name does not permit a company to circumvent a recall.

Shihan Qu said Thursday all recalls will be conducted as ordered, and the micro-magnets are currently unavailable.
