Hazard

The product has been identified as presenting a serious risk of choking and internal injuries due to the presence of small parts as received. A young child may place a small part in their mouth and cause the child to choke. The magnetic toy was also found to have a magnetic flux index of 222 KG²mm², greater than the maximum permissible level of 50 KG²mm². Small, high-powered magnetic products can be easily swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract. The product also requires improvements to marking and labelling. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

Remedy

We recommend owners stop using this product immediately and keep it out of the reach of young children. Contact the distributor you purchased from to request redress. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon).
