CuberShop's Magnetic Stickerless Speed Cubes (model YJ MGC 5×5) are being recalled because the product packaging included loose high-powered magnets in a sealed plastic bag. These magnets pose a serious health risk to children. When swallowed, high-powered magnets can attract each other or other metal objects, causing them to become stuck in the digestive system and leading to intestinal perforations, twisting, blockage, blood poisoning, and potentially death.
According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately remove the loose magnets from children's access and stop using them. Consumers can contact SKY CUBE HK for a $5 refund by emailing a photo of the disposed magnets to recall@cubershop.com after throwing them away. The actual speed cube itself may be kept and used.
