Small World Toys Recalls Children's Take-Apart Townhouse Toys; Detached Magnets Pose Aspiration and Intestinal Hazards

Is my product affected?

IQ Preschool™ Take-Apart Townhouse

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Small World Toys is recalling its Take-Apart Townhouse toy, a wooden house measuring 8.5 inches high by 4.5 inches wide designed for children ages 18 months and older. The toy contains small magnets that connect wooden pieces to the sides of the house and can detach and fall out. If a young child swallows one magnet, it poses an aspiration hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attract each other inside the child's body and cause intestinal perforations or blockages, which can be fatal.

The recalled townhouses feature a green chimney, blue and yellow striped pillars with purple bases at each corner, and four removable panels with red knobs on the sides. The packaging displays Model number 2408808 and the "IQ Preschool™" name. According to the recall notice, consumers should take the toy away from children immediately and contact Small World Toys to obtain a free replacement product.
