Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Boxine U.S. is recalling about 4,200 tonies wooden Blocks sets because high-powered magnets inside the blocks can detach. The recall includes Marine Life, Invention and Innovation, and Gentle Giant Dinos sets, which were sold in sets of four blocks in various colors. While no injuries have been reported, the company has received one report of a magnet detaching from a block. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled blocks and return them to the company for a full refund and a $14.99 coupon.

Risk

If two or more magnets are swallowed, they can attract each other through the walls of the intestines. This can cause the magnets to become lodged in the digestive system, leading to serious internal injuries such as intestinal perforations, blockages, infection, blood poisoning, or death.
