In the CPSC's words
- Description
- This recall involves CuberShop's Magnetic Stickerless Speed Cubes, model YJ MGC 5×5. The products are a handheld 5×5 mechanical puzzle cubes that consists of interlocking plastic pieces. The Speed Cubes have six colored sides and the "MGC" logo printed on the center of the cubes. The Speed Cubes come in a box with "MGC" and "5x5" printed on the sides of the box. The product's packaging included spare magnets that were packaged separately in a sealed plastic bag.
- Hazard
- 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.
- Remedy
- 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.
