What to do now

Why it matters. Products that break, pinch, cut or fail suddenly can cause injuries ranging from cuts to fractures.

Getting your money back

A product safety report usually means the product was bought online and the marketplace has removed the listing. Ask the seller for a refund through the platform where you bought it; many marketplaces have their own buyer protection.

If you paid by credit card and it cost over £100, Section 75 may apply; otherwise your bank may be able to raise a chargeback.

Summary

Product Safety Report for 4-PEJIIAR Magnetic Building Blocks sold via Amazon presenting a serious risk of injuries and choking.

The risk

The product has been identified as presenting a serious risk of choking and internal injuries due to the presence of small parts as received. A young child may place a small part in their mouth and cause the child to choke.

The magnetic toy was also found to have a magnetic flux greater than the maximum permissible level. Small, high-powered magnetic products can be easily swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract. The product also requires improvements to marking and labelling.

The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

Action taken

The products have been rejected and destroyed at the border.

Advice to consumers

The products have been rejected and destroyed at the border.
