Tegu Recalls Magnetic Floating Stackers Toys Due to Magnet Ingestion Hazard; Risk of Serious Injury or Death; Violates Mandatory Standard for Toy Magnets
What's being recalled
Magnetic Floating Stackers toys
Units: 22,850 (In addition, about 1,977 in Canada and about 190 in Mexico)
This recall involves Tegu Magnetic Floating Stackers with model numbers STA-BGY-801T (Rainbow) and STA-BTP-806T (Big Top). The wooden toys consist of a wooden base, six stacking pieces of various colors, two posts, and two figures on top, which all connect with magnets. There are no markings on the products.
The problem, in CPSC's words
The recalled magnetic floating stackers toys violate the mandatory standard for toy magnets because they contain magnets that can loosen and detach from the toy, 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, blood poisoning and death.
Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC
The firm has received 31 reports of magnets separating from the toy stacker. No injuries have been reported.
What CPSC says to do
Replace
Consumers should take the product away from children immediately and contact Tegu for instructions on receiving a free replacement stacker toy.
