Hazard

Magnets in the small flexible parts of the animals, vehicles and building sets can detach. Magnets found by young children can be swallowed or aspirated. If more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause intestinal perforations or blockages, which can be fatal.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using the recalled toys immediately and return them to MEGA Brands for a free replacement toy.
