The magnetic building blocks contain magnets that can become loose if the blocks break or open, posing a magnet ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.
CPSC urges consumers to stop using the magnetic building blocks immediately and dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous magnetic building blocks.
Product Safety Warning Details
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to stop using Girigi Magnetic Building Blocks immediately because the blocks contain magnets that can become loose if the blocks break or open, posing a magnet ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.
CPSC is aware of one report where a child ingested about 50 magnets, which required surgery to remove the magnets and to repair holes in his small intestine.
CPSC urges consumers to stop using the magnetic building blocks immediately and dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous magnetic building blocks.
The Chinese seller, mushanjiaju(dongguanshi)youxiangongsi, has not agreed to an acceptable recall of these magnetic building blocks.
The products were manufactured in China.
The Girigi-branded Magnetic Building Blocks are magnetic blocks sold in sets of 40 and 48. The blocks contain small, powerful magnets that allow the blocks to stick together and create 3D designs.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
