Denver, CO, August 13, 2026 —
Goody King is recalling approximately 213,500 magnetic building toys nationwide due to a serious ingestion hazard. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall, citing the risk of internal injury or death if small magnets are swallowed.
According to the recall notice, the magnetic building toys can break apart, releasing small magnets. If these magnets are ingested, they can attract each other and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in intestinal perforations, infection, sepsis, and death.
The recall specifically addresses the danger posed by loose magnets. In one incident, a child swallowed multiple magnets, leading to a surgical intervention to remove them. The CPSC reported that two children have required surgery due to ingesting the small magnets from these toys.
Consumers are urged to immediately stop using the recalled Goody King magnetic building toys and keep them away from children. The exact model numbers and specific product details for the recalled toys were not provided in the initial summary.
Parents and guardians who believe they may have purchased the affected toys are advised to contact Goody King for further instructions on how to return the product and receive a refund or replacement, as determined by the company. The company has not yet provided specific details on the refund or replacement process.
This recall serves as a critical reminder of the potential dangers associated with small, powerful magnets in children’s toys. Health and safety organizations consistently warn about the risks, particularly for young children who may put small objects in their mouths.
