Official information
Risk and measures
- Risk or hazard
- The small plastic piece containing a high-powered magnet that connects one train to another can detach or become loose, posing an ingestion hazard. As of October 13, 2023, the company has received no reports of the plastic connector becoming loose and detaching from the product in Canada, and no reports of injuries. In the United States, the company has received one report of the plastic connector becoming loose and detaching from the product and no reports of injuries. 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.
