The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. No one hurt

    Made Apr 1, 2020, sent to the company Apr 20, 2020, published by CPSC May 4, 2020

    The product, in the report: Colorful magnetic building set with various open shapes (triangles, squares, etc.), gears, moving pieces, and decorative discs.

    Magnets in Motion 61pc OPAQUE Gear Set arrived with broken pieces (loose magnet and plastic cylinder) both of which fit in a small parts tester. I’m concerned about the potential choking hazard and sharp plastic edges for my young children (4 and 7 years). Other gear pieces appear worn suggesting product is of poor quality (refurbished? Or fake?). Due to similar known issues on online marketplaces, I purchased the above product directly from the firm’s website, https://www.magformers.com/magnets-in-motion-61pc-opaque-gear-set.html.

    Made Oct 26, 2014, sent to the company Nov 3, 2014, published by CPSC Dec 3, 2014

    The product, in the report: Magformer blocks they have magnets and you can build 3d things with them

    My six year old son opened up magnaformer blocks and swallowed the magnets. They are very small and very strong he had 4 holes in his bowels had to under go two surgeries to fix the holes. These blocks can be easily opened using your teeth. And are very unsafe for children as these magnets are very harmful and small.
