Seattle Tacoma, WA, August 13, 2026 —
Goody King magnetic building cubes and blocks are subject to a recall impacting the Seattle-Tacoma area. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall due to a potential hazard where small magnets may detach from the toys. This poses a significant risk, particularly if ingested by children.
The recall affects an estimated 213,500 units of the magnetic building sets. According to the CPSC, two injuries have already been reported in connection with the product. The specific details regarding the nature of these injuries were not provided in the announcement.
The detached magnets, if swallowed, can attract each other through the walls of a child’s intestines, leading to serious internal injuries. Children’s hospitals have reported cases of children swallowing multiple magnets, which can cause perforations and fatal issues if not treated promptly.
Consumers who have purchased Goody King magnetic building cubes and blocks are advised to immediately stop using the affected toys and keep them away from children. The CPSC provided no further details on how consumers can obtain a refund or replacement for the recalled products.
