A popular Crayola-branded magnetic building kit has been recalled nationwide over a risk of “serious injury or death” tied to the possible ingestion of loose magnets.
Roughly 9,400 CreateOn Crayola-branded pip-Cube sets are being removed from store shelves after officials found the internal magnets can detach, according to a Thursday notice from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
“When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract to each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system,” CPSC warned. “This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.”

Model and UPC information can be found on the bottom of the packaging, as noted in the recall.
The kits were manufactured in China and imported by CreateOn LLC, which is based in Wheeling, Illinois.
“Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled magnetic building cubes, take them away from children and contact CreateOn to receive a replacement set of pip-cubes” CPSC stated. “Consumers will receive a pre-paid label to return the recalled magnetic cubes in order to receive the replacement.”
CreateOn confirmed there have been three incidents linked to the issue but said no injuries have been reported.
