Serious Intestinal Injury Prompts Kipp Brothers Recall of Mag Stix Magnetic Building

[Elaine]

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Kipp Brothers, of Carmel, Ind., is voluntarily recalling about 800 Mag Stix Magnetic Building Sets. Small magnets inside the plastic sticks 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 perforation or blockage, which can be fatal.
