Tegu Recalls Magnetic Floating Stackers Toys Due to Magnet Ingestion Hazard; Risk of Serious Injury or Death; Violates Mandatory Standard for Toy Magnets
The voluntary recall includes the Tegu Magnetic Floating Stacker toy, in both the available Big Top and Rainbow colorways. Kaplan sold only the Rainbow Colorway as Item # 147028 from August 2018 through July 2025. Customers are advised to immediately stop using the toy and keep it away from children. Do not throw the toy out until you have completed registration for a replacement toy at www.tegu.com/pages/recall
The recalled magnetic floating stackers toys violate federal regulation for toy magnets because they contain magnets that can become loose, posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning, and death.
