213,000 Magnetic Toy Sets Recalled After Surgeries
213,000 Magnetic Toy Sets Recalled After Surgeries
The News
Federal regulators are recalling about 213,500 "Goody King" magnetic building cube sets sold on Amazon after at least two children swallowed loose magnets and needed surgery.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the cubes' plastic shells can crack or split, freeing the small, powerful magnets inside.
Swallowed magnets can attract each other through the walls of the intestines, causing perforations, blockages, blood poisoning and death, the agency warns.
Timeline
The Goody King magnetic building cube sets are sold on Amazon at prices between $17 and $50, in sets of 45, 56, 100, 120, 150 and 300 pieces across 18 named styles, including Dinosaur, Unicorn, Galaxy and Farm.
Distributor Yi Suen Commerce receives 27 reports of the cubes fracturing. At least two children ingest magnets and undergo surgery.
The CPSC announces the recall of roughly 213,500 sets and tells owners to stop using them immediately.
Reactions
The CPSC said the small internal magnets create a critical ingestion hazard for children and urged parents to take the sets away from kids now, not later.
Yi Suen Commerce is offering refunds: owners register with the company, which sends prepaid shipping labels and issues money back once it receives the returned product.
What's Next
Parents who own the sets should stop use and contact Yi Suen Commerce to register for a refund.
Two open questions remain: how many other children may have swallowed magnets without a report reaching the company, and whether Amazon and other platforms have pulled the listings — a point not addressed in the reporting available so far.
More
The magnet recall landed the same day as a second children's-product recall. The CPSC says Taleco Gear is recalling 41,100 baby jumpers, baby swings and 2-in-1 jump-and-swing units sold on Amazon.com and Walmart.com over fall and strangulation hazards, after more than two dozen injury reports — including bloody noses and head bumps. The agency put the injury count at 32.
Both recalls involve products sold through major online marketplaces rather than store shelves, where a single listing can put hundreds of thousands of units in American homes before a defect surfaces.
