Product Safety Warning Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to stop using TOP MAGNETS Magnetic Men stick figure toy sets immediately. The figures’ arms and legs with magnets can detach when pulled. The toy sets contain stronger than permitted magnets that fit within CPSC’s small parts cylinder and violate the mandatory standard for toys posing a risk of serious injury or death if ingested by 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 issued a Notice of Violation to the seller Hefei Ao Ze Trading Co., Ltd. doing business as Top magnets, of China. Top magnets has not responded to the Notice of Violation.

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.
