Tempest oil filter no magnet?

Cut open a tempest filter (48110) today. I installed it on a friends plane a few months ago. There is no magnet inside. None. Typically I recall seeing a thin donut shaped magnet attached to the base of the element, in the depression. Anybody else ever notice it missing?

The Tempest Website https://tempestplus.com/product/oil-filters/ now has this note:
