Pura Scents recalling more than 850,000 diffusers as magnet issue may cause ingestion hazard
The company is recalling about 851,400 Pura 4 Smart Home Fragrance Diffusers with detachable covers. It said an additional 1,100 were sold in Canada.
Pura Scents said that the magnets on the inside cover of the product can detach, posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death.
The company has received three reports of magnets detaching from the cover. No injuries have been reported.
The diffusers were sold at Target, Scheels and other stores nationwide from August 2023 through May 2025 for about $50. They were also sold online through Pura's website, as well as online at Amazon, Target and Scheels.
Pura Scents is offering a free replacement cover. Consumers are advised to immediately dispose of the existing detachable cover and to keep the diffusers out of the reach of children and pets.
To receive the free replacement cover, individuals may contact Pura Scents at 855-394-5292 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday. The company can also be emailed at replacement@pura.com. Consumers may also visit the company's website and click on 'Recall' at the bottom of the page for more information.

This New Vitamin C Serum Is The Affordable Lookalike We've Been Waiting For
If there were ever an ingredient that would be voted 'most popular' in the skincare world, it would be vitamin C. Beloved by many experts across the board — from dermatologists to aestheticians — it's known to help with hyperpigmentation, age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture, and other skin concerns. The TLDR;? It's a powerhouse ingredient that certainly belongs in your routine if you can tolerate it. The problem, however, sometimes lies in finding a quality one that won't completely break the bank. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of options out there that are fantastic — a personal favorite being the cult-loved Skinceuticals formula C E Ferulic, but in this economy? The $182 price tag on it is a bit much for my wallet. I think we can all agree it isn't totally wrong to look for an option that's a bit more affordable. And coincidentally, the internet's favorite drugstore brand E.l.f. recently launched a similar formula that's only $16 at Target. I'm usually pretty careful with vitamin C serums because my skin is super sensitive, but since this product is so affordable and I love similar ones that are more expensive, I thought I would give it a go. For starters, I love the lightweight texture of this product. If you have acne-prone skin like I do, you know that's absolutely key. If my skin feels like it's being smothered or clogged — it's an immediate no from me. I also deal with hyperpigmentation and I honestly started to notice dark spots lightened after only five days of using this. I'd say that's pretty impressive for a $16 doppelgänger! I mostly love this serum for its ability to fade my dark spots so quickly and the extra dose of radiance it adds to my skin, but if your concerns are fine lines or age spots, you can rest easy knowing that this serum is designed to address those skincare challenges too. With a solid 4 out of 5-star rating on Target currently, take a look at what some happy reviewers are saying below. Get it from Target for $16.
