Name of Product:
CHE-US Magnetic Robot Stick Figure Toys
Hazard:

The magnetic stick figures violate the mandatory standard for toys because when pulled apart, the figures' arms and legs liberate magnets that are stronger than permitted and fit within CPSC's small parts cylinder, posing a risk of serious injury or death if ingested by 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.

Consumer Action:

CPSC urges consumers to stop using the magnetic stick figure toys immediately and dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous products.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to stop using CHE-US Magnetic Robot Toys immediately. The magnetic stick figures violate the mandatory standard for toys because they contain loose 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.

CPSC urges consumers to stop using the toys immediately and dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous products.

Related Recalls

The recalled finger lights violate the mandatory standard for toys because they contain button cell batteries and the compartments that hold the batteries can be easily accessed by children, posing a deadly ingestion hazard to children. When button cell and coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death.

The coin purses contain higher phthalate concentration levels. Phthalates can be harmful if young children are exposed to sufficient amounts, including through ingestion, and certain phthalates have been associated with adverse health effects, particularly effects on development and the hormone system.

The recalled medals violate the mandatory safety standard for magnets because the high-powered magnets may detach, posing a deadly 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.
