I received a message from Amazon. They are voluntarily recalling all Magnetix Magnetic Building Sets. "It has been determined that the tiny magnets inside the plastic building pieces and rods can fall out. Magnets found by young children can be swallowed or aspirated. If more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract to each other and cause intestinal perforation or blockage, which can be fatal....At this time, Rose Art Industries Inc. asks consumers to stop using the magnetic sets and return the sets to Rose Art for a free replacement product suitable for young children under the age of six. Consumers should keep all small magnet parts out of the hands of children who mouth objects, especially children under the age of three. Rose Art can be contacted by calling (800) 779-7122 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or by visiting [the] Rose Art's web site."
Here is the recall notice from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Alex and Marisa love playing with this toy. Luckily they are old enough to know not to swallow the pieces.
