Magnetic Stick Figure Sets Recalled Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Magnet Ingestion; Violate Mandatory Standard for Toys; Sold on Walmart by BlissfulDestiny

What's being recalled

This recall involves 10 flexible stick figures in purple, black, red, orange, pink, yellow, blue, white, dark green and light green. Each stick figure has four small magnets, one in each hand and foot. The stick figures come in clear plastic packaging.

The problem, in CPSC's words

The magnetic stick figures violate the mandatory standard for toys because they contain loose magnets 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.
