Beware of magnet toys
2008-04-14
Nearly 4.5 thousand Mega Brands magnetic toys pose a safety risk to children. The Polish distributor of the products informed the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection of the recall of the toys
Zapf Creation Polska, the distributor of Mega Brands products, informed the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection that Mega Brands Magtastik and Magnetix Jr magnetic toys may constitute a safety risk to children. By mid-March 2008 4.466 units had been placed on the Polish market.
The information submitted to the Office shows that the reason for recalling the toys is the fact that the magnets may come loose and, when swallowed, can pose a serious risk to a child’s life. The recall – concerning both the European and the American markets – is the manufacturer’s reaction to tests conducted in the USA. So far no accidents have been reported.
Bearing in mind kids’ safety, the company is recalling several dozen of models of Mega Brands toys. Not all of them have been introduced to the Polish market, however, as some of the unsafe models may have been bought via the Internet or abroad we are enclosing
