Latest Magnetic Floating Stacker Recall Updates
July 31, 2025: Health Canada Joins the Recall
Health Canada published a joint recall with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Tegu. It covers about 1,977 units sold in Canada from August 2018 to April 2025 [1].
As of July 30, 2025, Tegu had received one report of magnets detaching from a stacker toy in Canada, and 31 more reports came from other countries.
July 31, 2025: Tegu and CPSC Announce Recall 25-413
Tegu Holdings Inc. and the CPSC announced recall 25-413 of 22,850 Magnetic Floating Stacker toys sold in the United States. The CPSC lists it as a voluntary recall with the Replace remedy [2].
Which Magnetic Floating Stackers Are Affected?
The recall covers two Tegu Magnetic Floating Stackers models:
- Rainbow, model STA-BGY-801T
- Big Top, model STA-BTP-806T
The toys have no markings on them. Each wooden toy has a wooden base, six stacking pieces of various colors, two posts, and two figures on top. All the parts connect with magnets. The toys were made in Honduras.
Toy, children’s and specialty stores nationwide sold them. They were also sold online at Tegu.com and Amazon.com from August 2018 through April 2025 for about $40.
Why Were the Magnetic Floating Stackers Recalled?
The stackers were recalled because they violate the mandatory standard for toy magnets. The CPSC says the magnets can loosen and detach from the toy. That poses an ingestion hazard to children.
Health Canada lists the issue as a choking hazard and an ingestion hazard. Tegu Holdings Inc. of Naples, Florida, made the toys. Tegu states that other Tegu products are not included in this recall.
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
The firm has received 31 reports of magnets separating from the toy stacker. No injuries have been reported. Reports are not proof that the toy caused any harm.
The CPSC explains the risk: swallowed high-powered magnets can attract each other or other metal objects. They can lodge in the digestive system.
This can result in perforations, twisting, or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning, and death. These are the injuries the CPSC warns about, and none has been reported.
What Should Consumers Do?
Follow these steps to take part in the recall and get a free replacement:
- Take the toy away from children immediately and stop using it.
- Do not throw it out until registration is complete. Do not donate the pieces.
- Write “RECALLED” in permanent marker on the base with your initials and the date. Then photograph the base, as Tegu’s recall page directs [3].
- Email the photo, your name and your shipping address to service@tegu.com. You can also call Tegu at 877-834-8869, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday.
- Put all pieces in a sealed garbage bag and place it out for collection.
- Report a problem with the remedy through the CPSC recall complaint form, or call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772.
Legal Options
No lawsuit, MDL or class action names the Tegu Magnetic Floating Stackers. A recall does not by itself establish that anyone is eligible for compensation or that the company is liable.
A parent whose child swallowed a magnet should get medical care first. Then keep the toy, its packaging and receipts, photographs of the base, medical records and messages with Tegu. A lawyer can review the situation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Do Health Canada and the CPSC Give Different Unit Counts?
Health Canada and the CPSC give different unit counts: Health Canada’s notice says about 22,800 in the United States, while the CPSC says 22,850. The CPSC adds about 1,977 units in Canada and about 190 in Mexico.
How Long Does a Replacement Stacker Take to Arrive?
A replacement stacker takes 7 to 10 business days to arrive. Tegu processes and ships replacements after you send the photos of the disposed units and registration is complete.
Can I Get a Refund for the Recalled Stacker?
You cannot get a refund for the recalled stacker, because Tegu does not provide refunds and offers only free replacement units in this recall. Register for the free replacement on Tegu’s recall page instead.
Why Are Swallowed Magnets Dangerous to Children?
Swallowed magnets are dangerous to children because, Health Canada says in recall RA-77716, more than one swallowed magnet can pinch together, block the intestine and slowly tear through its walls, causing life-threatening perforations.
How Do I Report a Stacker Injury to the CPSC?
You report a stacker injury to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov, which takes reports of unsafe products and injuries. That report is separate from the free replacement, which you request from Tegu.
