Magnetic Building Sticks Sets
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The recalled magnetic building sticks set violates the mandatory federal regulation for magnet toys posing an ingestion hazard. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or another metal object, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Swallowed magnets can cause life-threatening internal injury.
