CreateOn Recalls Pip-Cubes Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Magnet Ingestion Hazard
CreateOn, LLC, of Wheeling, Illinois
Hazard
The recalled magnetic building cubes contain magnets that can become loose if the seams separate, 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, blood poisoning and death.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled magnetic building cubes, take them away from children and contact CreateOn to receive a replacement set of pip-cubes. Consumers will receive a pre-paid label to return the recalled magnetic cubes in order to receive the replacement.
Sold at
The 24-piece sets were sold at Michael's Stores nationwide and online at Michaels.com for about $20. The 27-piece sets were sold online at Amazon.com for about $35. All sets were sold from May 2025 to July 2025.
