Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Panelcraft Inc. is recalling about 2,000 Rainbow magnetic building sets because the corner welds can break during play. This defect allows the frames to separate and release small magnets, which can be swallowed or inhaled by children. The recall includes the Rainbow Dream Builder and Rainbow Solid Builder sets, both featuring 9-inch by 9-inch pieces in various colors. These sets were sold at Discount School Supply, Kaplan Early Learning Company, Panelcraft, and Tout About Toys between November 2016 and January 2017. Consumers should immediately stop using these toys and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement.

Risk

The corner welds on the building panels can fail, causing the magnets inside the frames to fall out. These small, powerful magnets pose a serious choking hazard if a child swallows or inhales them.
