Tegu Recalls Magnetic Floating Stackers Toys Due to Magnet Ingestion Hazard; Risk of Serious Injury or Death; Violates Mandatory Standard for Toy Magnets
Recall Overview
| Recall Date | |
|---|---|
| Product | Magnetic Floating Stackers toys |
| Units | 22,850 (In addition, about 1,977 in Canada and about 190 in Mexico) |
| Hazards | 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. |
| Remedies | Consumers should take the product away from children immediately and contact Tegu for instructions on receiving a free replacement stacker toy. |
| Manufacturers | Tegu Holdings Inc., of Naples, Florida |
