MEGA Brands Recalls MagnaMan Magnetic Action Figures; Ingested Magnets Pose Aspiration and Intestinal Hazards

Is my product affected?

MagnaMan Magnetic Toy Figures

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

What happened

MEGA Brands is recalling MagnaMan magnetic action figures sold in "Futuristic Warrior" and "Ancient Warrior" themes because small magnets inside the figures can detach. Young children who swallow or inhale these magnets face serious health risks, including intestinal blockages or perforations that can be fatal if multiple magnets are ingested, as the magnets can attract each other inside the body.

The recalled figures include models such as Alien (Green, #28170), Robotor (Red, #28171), and Toyoto the Samurai (Purple, #28164), among others, sold individually or in multi-packs with various model numbers listed in the recall notice. Consumers should stop using the toys immediately and return them to MEGA Brands for a free replacement toy.

Hazard

Small magnets inside the figures can detach. Magnets found by young children can be swallowed or aspirated. If more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause intestinal perforations or blockages, which can be fatal.

What should I do?

Consumers should stop using the recalled toys immediately and return them to MEGA Brands for a free replacement toy.
