The problem, in CPSC's words

The recalled magnetic building cubes contain magnets that can become loose if the cubes break or open, posing a magnet 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

Yi Suen Commerce is aware of two children who have ingested magnets from the cubes and required surgery to remove the magnets. Yi Suen Commerce is also aware of least 27 reports of the cubes breaking or opening, causing the magnets to become loose and accessible to children.

What CPSC says to do
