The risk
The recalled magnetic building cubes contain magnets that can become loose if the cubes break or open, posing a magnet ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.
None reported.
What to do
Consumers should stop using the recalled magnetic building cubes immediately and contact Magnetopia for a full refund. Consumers will be provided with a pre-paid label to return the recalled magnetic cubes to receive a refund.

What you can doAI-generated
- ✓Pull the set out of reach of children today. Store magnetic cubes in a closed box on a high shelf, not in a toy bin on the floor. Check the model number on the back of the packaging against the recall list, since Darkhouse appears twice with different model numbers, MAT-030 and T009.
- ✓Stop building with the affected cubes and keep every piece together. If a cube cracks, chips or pops open, the magnets inside can come loose. Do not let a child play with a damaged cube, even for a minute.
- ✓Contact Magnetopia for a full refund. Sets sold online at Magnetopia.com from April 2025 through October 2026 cost between $20 and $40, so you can expect the full purchase price back.
- ✓Get medical help fast if a child swallows a magnet or swallows two magnets. Go straight to the emergency room. Do not wait for symptoms, because swallowed magnets can cause intestinal perforation, blockage and blood poisoning, and the CPSC warns they can be fatal.
Always consult a healthcare professional for personal medical advice.
