Crayola Recalls Magnetic Cubes Over Ingestion Risks
Crayola is recalling some of their magnetic building cubes because small parts can come loose and be swallowed.
If someone swallows these magnets, they can stick together inside the body and cause serious problems like holes in the intestines, infections, or even death.
The cubes were sold in sets of 24 or 27 pieces at Michaels stores and online at Michaels and Amazon.
If you have these cubes, you should contact CreateOn for help with the recall.
The cubes have the Crayola name on them and you can find the model numbers on the bottom of the box.
Crayola has recalled CreateOn-branded magnetic building cubes due to ingestion hazards.
About 9,400 units were sold in 24-piece and 27-piece sets in 'Bold Colors' and 'Glitter'.
The cubes were sold at Michaels stores and online at Michaels and Amazon from May to July.
Ingested magnets can cause intestinal perforations, blockages, blood poisoning, or death.
Consumers are advised to contact CreateOn for recall assistance.
