U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced on Thursday, August 13, 2026, a recall of approximately 213,500 "Goody King" magnetic building toys due to an ingestion hazard. The toys, sold through Amazon between January 2024 and July 2026, consist of building cubes that can break or open, releasing magnets that pose a serious risk of ingestion for children.
When high-powered magnets are swallowed, they can become lodged in the digestive system, leading to severe complications such as perforations, twisting, and blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning, and even death. So far, two children have required surgery after ingesting magnets from these toys, and at least 27 reports of the cubes breaking or opening have been received.
Goody King seller Yi Suen Commerce urges consumers with the recalled toys to discontinue use immediately and request a refund. Affected model numbers and additional information can be found on the CPSC's notice and the recall website. Goody King will provide prepaid shipping labels to customers who register for the recall, with refunds issued upon the company's receipt of the returned products.
Receipts are not necessary. The toys were sold online in various sets, ranging from 45 to 300, and priced between $17 and $50, and were available in themes such as forests, dinosaurs, and unicorns.
