- Remove it from the toy box or cot straight away.
- Check the floor and play areas for any parts that have already come off.
- Use the contact details in the official notice to arrange a refund, repair or replacement.
- If someone has been hurt or the product has failed, report it to Trading Standards through the Citizens Advice consumer service.
Why it matters. Children under three put things in their mouths. Anything small enough to fit through a toilet-roll tube is a choking hazard for them.
If someone has been hurt
Look out for

Get help urgently

Summary
Product: 3D Magnetic Toys Set presenting a serious of choking and injuries.
The risk
The product presents a serious risk of choking as the small magnetic balls were found to be small enough to fit completely into a small parts cylinder and as such, would be regarded as capable of causing a choking hazard for a child.
The product also presents a risk of injuries as the magnetic spheres were tested and found to have a magnetic flux index of 156 kG2mm², greater than the limit of 50 kG2mm². If two or more magnets were swallowed, there is a risk that the magnets become drawn to each other in the digestive system, which could cause serious injury or death if medical attention is not sought immediately.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
