Recall Overview
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC)) announced a recall of roughly 213,500 “Goody King” magnetic building toy sets after reports that the cubes can crack, releasing small, high-powered magnets. The agency warned that ingestion of these magnets can cause intestinal perforations, twisting, blockage, blood poisoning, and even death. Two children required surgery to remove swallowed magnets, and the importer Yi Suen Commerce reported at least 27 incidents of the cubes breaking or opening.
Scope and Hazard Details
The recalled products are marketed as Magnetic Building Cubes and Blocks in sets ranging from 45 to 300 pieces. They were sold online through Amazon under 18 style names—including “Cute Zob,” “Dinosaur,” “Unicorn,” and “Forest”—and priced between $17 and $50. The CPSC noted that the magnets, when loose, can attract each other or other metal objects inside the digestive tract, creating a serious health risk for children.
Company Response
Goody King, through its online FAQ, instructed consumers to stop using the toys immediately and to contact Yi Suen Commerce for a full refund. The company will provide prepaid shipping labels to customers who register for the recall; refunds are issued after the returned products are received, and receipts are not required. Model numbers for the affected sets are listed on the product packaging and on the CPSC’s recall notice.
Impact and Consumer Guidance
Parents and guardians who own any of the recalled sets are urged to discontinue use, unplug the toys, and follow the refund procedure outlined by Yi Suen Commerce. The recall covers toys sold between January 2024 and July 2026. Consumers can verify whether their product is included by checking the model numbers on the packaging against the list provided by the CPSC and Goody King’s recall website.
