Product Safety Warning Details

Description:

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Lexibook Bio Toys Wooden Cat Magnetic Fishing Games because the game violates the magnet requirements of the mandatory federal standard for toys. The game contains one or more magnets that fit within CPSC’s small parts cylinder. In addition, the magnets are stronger than permitted and pose a risk of serious injury or death if ingested by children.

CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, Lexibook America, Inc., of New York, but the firm has not agreed to recall the magnetic fishing game or offer a remedy to consumers. 

When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or to another metal object, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in serious injuries such as intestinal perforations, twisting and/or blockage, infection, blood poisoning and death. 

The toys were sold online on Amazon from February 2024 through May 2025 for between $15 and $20. The products may have also been sold on other websites. The wooden cat-shaped frame has 10 different colored circular holes and comes with 10 colored wooden fish that fit in the hole with its matching color. The fish have metal tips on top. The game includes two wooden fishing rods with magnetic lures to attract the fish. The magnets embedded in the lures are high-powered and can easily be separated from the fishing rods. The Bio Toys Wooden Cat Magnetic Fishing Games have the “Bio Toys” and “Lexibook” logos printed on the front of the box.

This product was manufactured in China.

CPSC urges consumers to stop using the Lexibook Bio Toys Wooden Cat Magnetic Fishing Games immediately and dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous wooden magnetic fishing games.
