CuberShop Magnetic Speed Cubes Recalled Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Magnet Ingestion; Violate Mandatory Standard for Toys; Imported by SKY CUBE HK
Reviewed and published by MPB Safety Desk
Hazard
The recalled magnetic cubes violate the mandatory standard for toys because the cubes were packaged with loose high-powered 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.
What parents need to know
CuberShop's Magnetic Stickerless Speed Cubes are handheld 5×5 mechanical puzzle cubes made of interlocking plastic pieces, with six colored sides and an "MGC" logo printed on the center of the cube. They were sold in packaging that also included spare magnets, packaged separately in a sealed plastic bag.
These cubes were recalled because they violate the mandatory federal toy standard: the loose, high-powered magnets included with the product pose an ingestion hazard to children. If a magnet is swallowed, it can attract another magnet, or attract other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can cause perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning, and death.
Parents should take the loose magnets away from children right away and stop using them. Consumers can contact SKY CUBE HK for information on how to receive a $5 refund. As part of the remedy, consumers will be asked to throw away the magnets and email a photo of the disposed magnets to [email protected]. Consumers may keep the cube itself.
