The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of about 25,000 nvyue Magic Pocket Staffs on April 16, 2026. Xingwenfeng of China imported the gold, silver, and black staffs, sold in 110 cm and 150 cm lengths. The staffs ship compressed in a cylinder. The protective pin often is not fully set. When it fails, the staff can expand too fast to react to. That risks projectile and laceration injuries to the eyes, face, or hands. Owners should immediately stop using the recalled staff, mark and photograph it, and contact Xingwenfeng for a refund. The recall remains ongoing, with no closure or amendment announced as of the CPSC notice dated April 16, 2026.

Latest Magic Pocket Staff Recall Updates

April 16, 2026: CPSC Announces the Recall

On April 16, 2026, the CPSC recalled the nvyue Magic Pocket Staff after finding the protective pin can fail to stop unintentional expansion, a projectile and laceration hazard [1]. Xingwenfeng, the China-based importer, offers a full refund. See Which Magic Pocket Staffs Are Affected? below for the unit count, and Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses for the 163 reports of injury logged before the announcement.

Which Magic Pocket Staffs Are Affected?

Recalled nvyue Magic Pocket Staffs are identified by color and expanded length, since the notice lists no separate model, lot, or serial number. Check a staff you own against the details below:
  • Colors: Gold, silver, or black
  • Expanded length: 110 cm or 150 cm
  • Shipped (compressed) form: A tightly wound cylinder. Check whether the protective pin is fully engaged before use
  • Other identifiers: None listed in the notice – color and length are the only distinguishing details given
Xingwenfeng, of China, imported the staffs, and they were sold exclusively on Amazon.com from September 2020 through March 2026, for between $8 and $26.

Why Were the Magic Pocket Staffs Recalled?

The Magic Pocket Staffs were recalled because the protective pin meant to hold the closed staff shut can fail. Even when set, the staff can open faster than a user can react. That risks injury. CPSC’s own check found the protective pin not fully set on some units straight from Amazon.com. That means the defect could be there before a buyer ever opens the box, not only after repeated use. CPSC’s hazard description for this recall names only the pin mechanism as the cause. It does not describe a labeling, packaging, or manufacturing defect, so the finding centers on how the staff itself locks shut.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

CPSC received 163 reports of injuries to the eyes, face, and hands before the April 16, 2026 recall. Reported injuries include corneal cuts, short-term vision loss, and injuries needing stitches. Many of the reports involve children as young as 9. The notice does not break the reports out by state or region. It also does not say whether any report led to a lasting injury. These are reports CPSC received, not proof that every single incident shared the same exact cause. The agency ties the reports to how fast the pin lets the staff suddenly open, often before a user expects it.

Is the Magic Pocket Staff Still Sold Online?

No, the Magic Pocket Staff is not still sold online. The recalled nvyue listing is no longer live on Amazon.com, and a search found no separate manufacturer or brand website for the three colors and two lengths Xingwenfeng sold. The CPSC notice remains the most current source for details.

How Do I Report a Magic Pocket Staff Injury to the CPSC?

You can report a Magic Pocket Staff injury to CPSC through SaferProducts.gov. You can also call the agency’s consumer hotline at 800-638-2772 (TTY 800-638-8270). Reporting helps CPSC track incidents beyond the ones already logged before the recall.

How Can I Stay Updated on the Magic Pocket Staff Recall?

You can stay updated on the Magic Pocket Staff recall by checking Xingwenfeng’s own refund process rather than a general CPSC channel, since CPSC’s notice is a United States federal action with no separate notice found for any other country and no broader update issued since.

Were the Recalled Magic Pocket Staffs Defective Right Out of the Package?

Yes, some recalled Magic Pocket Staffs were defective right out of the package, based on CPSC’s photo of a unit from Amazon.com. The Magic Pocket Staff had been on sale about five and a half years before the recall, so the defect may have reached buyers throughout that time.

Does the Magic Pocket Staff Recall Cover Sales Outside the United States?

The Magic Pocket Staff recall notice does not clearly cover sales outside the United States. It gives one total unit count, about 25,000, and names only Amazon.com as the retailer. It gives no country-by-country breakdown.
