Hazard

Small magnets inside the toys can fall out. Magnets found by young children can be swallowed or aspirated. If more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause intestinal perforation or blockage, which can be fatal.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately take the recalled toys away from children and contact Mattel to receive a free replacement toy.

Incidents & injuries

The firm has received two reports of magnets coming loose. No injuries have been reported.
