Magnetic Block Building
Summary A 56-piece magnetic building toy set sold by Yougood Blocks in Hungary is being recalled because the plastic coating on the magnetic rods is too weak, allowing small magnets to come loose. If swallowed, these small, powerful magnets can attract each other inside a child's body and cause intestinal blockage or perforation, or they can be a choking hazard. The product does not meet required toy safety standards.

- Reason
- The structural strength of the plastic casings of the toy is insufficient, allowing high-flux small magnets to easily detach. The small magnets have a high magnetic flux (measured value up to 146.38 kg²mm²). If a child swallows them, they could attract one another causing intestinal blockage or perforation. Moreover, the magnets are small parts. A child can put them in the mouth and choke. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 71-1.
