Official notice

CPSC's own wording, unchanged.

Hazard

The recalled rollers tile toy violates the mandatory federal regulation for toy magnets because it contains a magnet that can become loose, 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, infection, blood poisoning, and death.

Sold at

Specialty toy, book and educational stores nationwide and online at fatbraintoys.com from July 2024 through November 2024. The individual rollers tiles sold for about $6. The Sensory Set 3 sold for about $18.
