What’s the Problem?
The problem concerns Tegu’s recall of Magnetic Floating Stacker toys due to magnets that may loosen and detach, posing a magnet ingestion hazard. Ingested high‑powered magnets can attract each other or metal objects inside a child’s digestive tract, potentially causing perforations, twisting, blockage, blood poisoning, or death.
Approximately 22,850 units were recalled in the U.S., with additional units in Canada (1,977) and Mexico (190), sold from August 2018 through April 2025 [1.]. The CPSC announced the recall on July 31, 2025, noting the toys violate the mandatory standard for toy magnets.
Although no lawsuits have been filed against Tegu Holdings Inc., we are actively investigating potential claims involving magnet ingestion injuries or surgical complications due to internal magnet damage.
