    The product, in the report: MAGNA-TILES Jungle Animals 25-Piece Magnetic Construction Set, The ORIGINAL Magnetic Building Brand

    I’m writing to report a safety issue with a Magna-Tiles product. We recently purchased a Magna-Tiles Jungle Animals set that includes a tiger figure. During normal play today, a screw came loose from the tiger piece, and the magnet and its plastic cover fell out completely.

    My two-year-old daughter picked up the loose magnet and was bringing it to her mouth when I intervened. I have a photo of the disassembled piece showing the fallen screw, exposed magnet, and detached cover.

    I understand the serious risks of magnet ingestion in young children. This should not happen with a product that we just opened last week (a gift for Easter), designed for kids, especially from a brand that markets itself on safety and durability.

    The product, in the report: Magna-tile Brachiosaurus from the Magna-Tile Dino World XL 50-Piece Set - blue/gray, approximately 7.25” x 7.5” x 1.75”. It contains at least 6 small magnets that are 0.6”x 0.2”x 0.2x. The magnets are located in the feet (1 in each x 4), 1 in the back, 1 in the head. The product is a children’s toy intended to be used with plastic tiles that contain magnets - tiles are used to build structures.

    What happened that made you want to report? A strong small magnet fell out of a children’s toy that my daughter and I were playing with. I found the magnet on our rug. Upon further inspection, i found that the toy is missing a piece that is supposed to be held in place with a small screw. I understand that small magnets can be dangerous for children. What type of product(s) were being used? Magna-Tile Brachiosaurus - from the Dino World XL set (approved for ages 3+) Who was using the product(s)? a 4-year-old child How were the product(s) being used? gentle play, build a floor out of tiles and having the dinosaurs stand on it. I suspect that the magnet fell out of the device a different day and was in the bin that stored the toy Were there any injuries that happened or may have happened while using the product? No injuries, but a child could have ingested the magnet. How did any injuries occur? n/a

    We found two loose magnets hidden on the exterior of a Magna-Tiles track. This was discovered before play. Had a child ingested them, it could have been fatal.

    The product, in the report: Magna-Tiles Metropolis 110-Piece Set

    I bought the Magna-Tiles Metropolis 110-piece set yesterday at Target. I opened the set with my kids today and my 4 year old immediately brought me 9 loose STRONG magnets that were strewn among the packaging. One of the large square tiles had separated and all of the magnets were loose. I contacted Magna-Tiles today to ask if this is a known defective set and whether I should throw away the rest of the tiles in this box but haven’t heard back yet.

    The product, in the report: Magna Tiles Qubix 29 piece set

    This is the message I sent to Magna Tiles directly:

    We purchased two 29 piece Quibix sets about 10 months apart. One for Christmas 2022 (in person, possibly at Target) and one in October 2023 (on Amazon). My 4 year old plays with them semi regularly and then puts them away in a storage container where they will sit for a few weeks before he brings them out again. He plays with them appropriately at a table or elevated surface.

    Today my 1yr old brings me an orange piece of broken plastic that she found on the carpet that I recognized as a piece from one of the Qubix. I immediately went to inspect all the pieces in the container and found a loose magnet along with the majority of the 58 pieces with cracks, some of them significant. If she had swallowed loose magnets her life would have been in danger.

    My 1yr old isn’t allowed to play with these and my 4yr old plays with them appropriately. There is no biting or stepping on them or throwing and they get cleaned up and put away each time. (We even have carpet and don’t even wear shoes in the house.) I don’t see how the Qubix can have such widespread and significant damage after only having one of those sets for less than 6 months and the other one just about 1.5yrs.

    I’m attaching photos of the cracks. In one photo the 1. pile had significant damage, 2. pile had medium cracks or separation beginning to form at the seams and 3. pile with minimal or no cracking. It’s only a matter of time before all the Quibix pieces begin to break further. It’s also clear that these two sets purchased from different locations, at different times are defective.

    I avoided buying knock of brands of other magnet products because of the risk of breaking with magnets falling out and putting my children at risk. I thought these products were better quality and therefore more safe. I am requesting full refunds for both sets as I will no longer allow my 4yr old to play with these sets that were supposed to last years as your website states. I also cannot takes risks with my 1yr old’s safety with new Qubix sets as I no longer trust the safety of these products.

    I really appreciate your attention to this matter.

    The product, in the report: Magna-Qubix magnetic building toys

    We have a bunch of magna-tiles and one box of magna-qubix. We buy this product because they have a reputation for safety. This morning, I noticed the magna-qubix were breaking and that some magnets had fallen out, specifically out of the orange pyramids. Photos attached. This seems like a serious safety concern. I’ll be taking these away from my kids.

    My family and I purchased the small 3-d magnatiles. One cracked, and the magnet came loose. One of my kids fortunately spotted the loose magnet. Had a baby been visiting, this could’ve been disastrous.

    The product, in the report: 3”x3” square tiles from the magna-tiles storage bin bundle

    Sent to the Magna-Tiles company today: I recently purchased the new storage bin bundle. It’s the fifth set of tiles we have purchased from your company. When playing with them with my son I noticed they felt different, barely thicker. The stamp on them shows that you changed manufacturing locations- the rest of my tiles, including the new animal sets, were made in China while these were made in the Philippines. Upon closer inspection, the squares aren’t even sealed properly. On my original tiles the face is covered by the side. On these new ones the side is on top and bulging open. I can easily get my fingernail in the gap exposing the magnets. These are too dangerous for kids, I will be returning them. I wanted to make sure you knew about this defect. I am happy to send pictures if you would like.

    If swallowed these small magnets can cause extreme damage to a child’s digestive system.

    Made Mar 11, 2021, sent to the company Mar 23, 2021, published by CPSC Apr 6, 2021

    The product, in the report: The product is described by the family as Magna-Tiles, but the xray images are more consistent specifically with a product by the Magna-Tiles company called Magna-Qubix. This product contains cube-shaped magnets that match those ingested. Its shapes also notably include pyramids which contain 5 of these magnets.

    2 year old was playing with a new magnet toy called Magna-Tiles when 1 of the pieces broke apart. The child ingested 5 magnets which fell out. She then told her parents and was brought to the ED for evaluation. Xrays revealed the 5 magnets together overlying the stomach. Estimated size by xrays (which magnifies) 3mm X 4mm X 4 mm. The patient was taken to endoscopy and the string of magnets was removed under general anesthesia. The patient was discharged later the same evening. There were no further follow-up records in the chart so she is presumed to have recovered well.

    The product, in the report: Magnet from a Magna-Tile product. I do not have packaging for this product.

    2 hours prior to ED arrival he swallowed a magnet that came off a Magna-tile. This product has magnets sealed inside plastic casing that make construction pieces that can be linked together. One had come apart exposing the small magnets. It was unclear if the child had ingested just one or more than one magnets. The child thus required an emergency department visit and xrays. The child was well appearing and only one magnet was seen, so it was left to pass without intervention.
