Battat Recalls Magnetic Construction Sets; Ingested Magnets Pose Aspiration and Intestinal Hazards

Is my product affected?

Battat Magnabild Magnetic Building Systems

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

What happened

Battat is recalling Magnabild Magnetic Building System sets because small magnets inside the building pieces can fall out and be swallowed or inhaled by young children. If a child swallows more than one magnet, they can attract each other inside the body and cause intestinal perforations or blockages, which can be fatal. The recall affects two sets: the 293-piece set (item number BB1502H) and the 180-piece set (item number BB1431H), both sold in rotating display cases containing magnetic rods, building pieces, and metal balls in various colors.

According to the recall record, consumers should immediately remove the recalled sets from children and contact Battat to receive a pre-paid mailer to return the toy and obtain a free replacement product.
