MEGA Brands Recalls MagnaMan Magnetic Action Figures; Ingested
Magnets Pose Aspiration and Intestinal Hazards
MEGA Brands America Inc. announced a voluntary recall of MagnaMan
Magnetic Toy Figures. Small magnets inside the figures can detach. 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. The recalled MagnaMan magnetic toys are
figures that have body parts that attach with magnets. They come in either a "Futuristic Warrior" or "Ancient
Warrior" theme. Each figure comes with three accessories. The model number is printed on the front of the
product’s packaging.
