Tegu Recalls Magnetic Floating Stackers Toys Due to Magnet Ingestion Hazard; Risk of Serious Injury or Death; Violates Mandatory Standard for Toy Magnets
Reviewed and published by MPB Safety Desk
Hazard
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.
What parents need to know
Tegu is recalling its Magnetic Floating Stackers toys. These wooden toys consist of a base, stacking pieces, posts, and figures that connect using magnets.
The recall was issued because these toys do not meet the mandatory federal safety standard for toy magnets. The magnets can loosen and detach from the toy, creating a serious ingestion hazard. The firm has received 31 reports of magnets separating from the toy stacker. If a child swallows these high-powered magnets, they can attract each other or other metal objects inside the body. This can lead to severe internal injuries, including intestinal blockages, perforations, twisting of the intestines, blood poisoning, and death.
Parents should take these toys away from children immediately. Please consult the official recall notice to confirm if you own an affected product and to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer to receive a free replacement stacker toy.
