Cleveland Akron, OH, August 13, 2026 —
Goody King is initiating a recall of approximately 213,500 units of its magnetic building toys in the United States. The recall is being issued due to a significant ingestion hazard that could lead to severe internal injuries in children.
The primary concern stems from the small, powerful magnets contained within the toys. According to information provided, these magnets can detach if the toy breaks or opens. If a child ingests one or more of these loose magnets, they pose a serious risk of internal injury. This can include perforations of the digestive tract and blockages, which may necessitate surgical intervention.
The company has reported that it is aware of two children who have required surgery as a result of ingesting the toy’s magnets. Furthermore, Goody King has received at least 27 reports detailing instances where the magnetic building toys have broken. The specific timeline for when these incidents occurred was not provided.
The recall affects magnetic building toys sold nationwide. The exact product names and model numbers included in the recall were not specified in the provided summary. Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the recalled toys and keep them away from children.
Details regarding the return process or any potential remedies for consumers, such as refunds or replacement products, were not immediately available. Information on how consumers can identify if their toy is part of the recall or instructions on how to proceed will be made available by the company.
