HBT LTD, which operates as Magnetopia, is recalling about 7,600 magnetic building cube and block sets after the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall over a risk that children could swallow loose magnets.
The CPSC announced the recall Nov. 5, 2026, saying magnets could become loose if a cube breaks or opens. Once swallowed, magnets may draw toward one another or other metal inside the body, potentially perforating or twisting the intestines, causing a blockage or blood poisoning, or leading to death. The agency has received no reports of incidents or injuries involving these sets.
The recall covers sets of 60, 100, 150 or 200 pieces sold online at Magnetopia.com from April 2025 through October 2026 for $20 to $40. The affected models are MAT-030 through MAT-040, along with T009, T025, T076 and T078. Model numbers appear on the back of the packaging.
Consumers should stop using the products and contact Magnetopia for a full refund. The CPSC says the company will provide a prepaid return label. Magnetopia's safety page says a receipt is not required, refunds include applicable sales tax and original shipping fees, and processing is estimated to take five to seven business days.
The CPSC notice lists toyrecall78945@outlook.com as a contact, while Magnetopia's safety page lists hbtc8732@gmail.com. The CPSC identifies HBT LTD as a Hong Kong importer and says the products were made in China.
A separate CPSC warning on Aug. 27 concerned Girigi magnetic blocks. The agency said it was aware of a report that a child swallowed about 50 magnets and underwent surgery to remove them and repair holes in the small intestine.
