What's being recalled
PlayTab Rollers Tile Toys
Units: About 5,100 (In addition, about 380 were sold in Canada)
This recall involves individual PlayTab Rollers Tile toys sold for use with the PlayTab Modular Activity Board. The rollers tile was sold individually or also as a set of three with the PlayTab Sensory Set 3. The tile has blue, red and green rubberized and textured rollers that are designed for children to touch and spin.
The problem, in CPSC's words
The recalled rollers tile toy violates the mandatory federal regulation for toy magnets because it contains a magnet that can become loose, 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, and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning, and death.
