Risk and measures

Risk or hazard
Health Canada’s sampling and evaluation program has determined that these toys do not meet the Toy Regulations in Canada. Specifically, the product failed to meet the testing for magnetic force. Small, powerful magnets can be easily swallowed by children of all ages, posing serious and potentially life-threatening risks.   When more than one powerful magnet is swallowed in a short period of time, the magnets can attract one another while moving through the intestines. This can cause the intestines to twist, creating blockages or tearing of the intestinal walls. As of September 1, 2023, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.
