CuberShop Magnetic Speed Cubes recalled for magnet ingestion hazard to children
What this means
CuberShop's Magnetic Stickerless Speed Cubes (model YJ MGC 5×5) come with loose high-powered magnets in the packaging. If swallowed by a child, these magnets can attract each other or metal objects and become trapped in the digestive system, potentially causing serious internal injury or death.
- Remove the loose magnets from the cube packaging immediately and keep them away from children.
- Throw away the magnets safely.
- Contact SKY CUBE HK at recall@cubershop.com with a photo of the disposed magnets to receive a $5 refund.
- You can keep and use the speed cube itself.

The agency's original wording
The recalled magnetic cubes violate the mandatory standard for toys because the cubes were packaged with loose high-powered magnets, 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.
Consumers should take the recalled loose magnets away from children, stop using them immediately, and contact SKY CUBE HK for information on how to receive a $5 refund. Consumers will be asked to throw away the magnets and email a photo of the disposed magnets to recall@cubershop.com. Consumers may keep the cube.
