After Dangerous Magnets Could Seriously Injure or Kill Children
Parents, grandparents, and caregivers should check their toy boxes immediately.
Small Fish has recalled its Montessori Busy Board Toys sold on Amazon because the toys contain magnets that can come loose. If a child swallows one or more magnets, they can attract each other inside the body, causing intestinal tears, blockages, infections, or even death.
This isn’t just another product recall. It’s exactly the kind of hazard that has led to devastating injuries and emergency surgeries for young children.
The recalled toys also violate the federal mandatory toy safety standard designed to prevent this type of danger.
