Battat Recalls Additional Magnetic Construction Sets; Ingested Magnets
Pose Aspiration and Intestinal Hazards
Battat Inc. announced a voluntary recall of their Magnabild Magnetic
Building Toys or Sets. Small magnets inside the building pieces can fall out. Magnets found by young
children can be swallowed or aspirated. If more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract
each other and cause intestinal perforations or blockages, which can be fatal. This recall involves the 108-
piece (item number BB1439H) and the 68-piece (item number BAT-34) Magnabild Magnetic Building
System sets. The 108-piece set comes in a rotating display case containing sixty 1-inch rods with magnets
and 48 metal balls. The 68-piece set comes in a window box and contains forty-four 1-inch rods with
magnets and 24 metal balls.
