Magnetix Magnetic Building Set Recall

Mega Brands America Inc., in cooperation with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, is voluntarily recalling Magnetix Magnetic Building Sets.

The sets contain 20 to 200 plastic building pieces and 20 to 100 1/2-inch diameter steel balls. The building pieces are red, yellow, blue and green, and are shaped in 1 1/2-inch squares, 1-inch triangles and cylinder rods. Some plastic building pieces have "Magnetix" imprinted on them.

Tiny magnets inside the plastic building pieces and rods can fall out. Magnets found by young children can be swallowed or aspirated. If more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract to each other and cause intestinal perforation or blockage, which can be fatal. This product is unsuitable for young children.

Please discontinue playing with the product immediately and call Consumer Services to help determine if you are affected by this recall. We can be reached toll-free at 1-800-524-8697, Monday through Friday 9 AM to 6 PM Eastern Time.
