213,500 'Goody King' Magnetic Toys Recalled Over Ingestion Risk
The magnetic building cubes can break open, and at least two children needed surgery after swallowing the magnets inside.
About 213,500 "Goody King" magnetic building toys have been recalled in the United States after regulators found the products pose a serious ingestion hazard to children.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday that the toys' building cubes can break or open, allowing the powerful magnets inside to come loose. If swallowed, high-powered magnets can attract each other or other metal objects inside the body and become lodged in the digestive system, the CPSC warned. That can cause perforations, twisting or blockages of the intestines, as well as blood poisoning and death.
Seller Yi Suen Commerce, based in Hong Kong, said it is aware of two children who ingested magnets from the toys and required surgery to have them removed. The company has also received at least 27 reports of the cubes breaking or opening.
Consumers who own the recalled toys are urged to stop using them immediately and contact Yi Suen Commerce for a full refund. Model numbers affected by the recall and additional details are available through the CPSC's notice and on Goody King's recall website.
In an online FAQ, Goody King said it will send prepaid shipping labels to customers who register for the recall, and that refunds will be issued once the company receives the returned products. Receipts are not required.
The recalled toys were sold on Amazon between January 2024 and July 2026 in a variety of themes, including forests, dinosaurs and unicorns, allowing children to build 3D designs. They came in sets of 45, 56, 100, 120, 150 and 300 pieces, and were priced between $17 and $50, according to the CPSC.
