Magnetic Construction Toys Recalled Due to Ingestion Risk

2 hours ago 0

Approximately 213,500 ‘Goody King’ magnetic construction toys have been recalled in the United States due to a risk of ingestion that has resulted in surgeries for at least two children. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a notice stating that the construction cubes of these toys can break or open, allowing the internal magnets to become loose. This poses a serious ingestion hazard for children.

The commission warns that when high-strength magnets are ingested, they can attract each other or other metals and become trapped in the digestive system. This situation can potentially lead to perforations, twisting or blocking of the intestines, sepsis, and death.

To date, the Goody King seller, Yi Suen Commerce, is aware of two children who ingested magnets from these toys and required surgery for removal. The Hong Kong-based company is also informed about at least 27 reports of broken or opened cubes. Consumers with these magnetic toys should stop using them immediately and contact Yi Suen Commerce for a full refund. Affected model numbers and further information can be found in the CPSC notice and on the Goody King recalls website.

In an online FAQ section, Goody King mentioned that it would send prepaid shipping labels to customers registering for the recall, with refunds issued after the company receives the returned products. Receipts are not required.

The commission noted that the recalled toys were sold online through Amazon between January 2024 and July 2026, under various themes for constructing 3D designs like forests, dinosaurs, and unicorns. Products were offered in sets of 45, 56, 100, 120, 150, and 300 pieces, with prices ranging from $17 to $50.
