The product, in the report: The Fort Color- Heron (gray) Axial magnets
I backed a Kickstarter called “The Fort” back in January 2021 for an idea that a creator [REDACTED] had for magnet play cushions for children. He promised sewn in magnets that could flip inside the covers, no zippers, and rare neodymium magnets. I received a Fort in October 2021 but received a product that had a visible zipper, magnets that were not sewn in but secured with a removable patch, and weak magnets that were incorrectly placed when manufactured. In order for the toy (he defines it as furniture) to even function as created he suggested all those who received the weak, defective axial magnets (instead of diametrical ones that most of the Forts manufactured had) to remove half of the adhesive magnet patches and flip the magnets so the number of N and S polarities were equal. That is not only 2 painful hours of my life I will never get back, but this toy is now a huge safety hazard because the magnets (that are about the size of a nickel) are easily reachable by my 2 young kids. To make matters worse, today I noticed a sharp, broken magnet piece poking through the cover! This is just unacceptable and should never be brought into a house with children. Although I noticed it before my kids played with it and no one was injured, there was definite potential for injury.

The product, in the report: The Fort It’s the cascade couch Model Cascade
I purchased a fort via kickstarter in early 2020, when fort was first pitched it was said to be a childrens toy. It’s a “couch” with various shapes and sizes cushions that include magnets to help the “forts” hold their shape. Fort first promised all magnets would be stitched internally and would not be accessible and gold standard zippers would be used. The fort I received has subpar plastic zippers and the magnet pouches are stitched but include a small slit that then place an adhesive patch over. The inside of one of my covers has a pocket that has not been secured by stitching as the stitching missed the pouch and so while there is an adhesive patch on the sewn patch it is irrelevant because the magnet slips out in the gap between cover and both patches. It is unsafe. I have reached out to FORT no less than 4 times to resolve the issue safely and I have received 1 correspondence early November but all of my other inquires have gone unanswered and I am still in possession of a broken and therefore incredibly dangerous product.
