CPSC Recalls Magnetic Toy Sets — Stop Use Immediately, Risk of Death

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued urgent recalls for two magnetic toy sets this week, both posing a risk of serious injury or death to children. Parents should check their homes immediately for these products and take them away from children now.

The recalled products are: GBYMIUY Magnetic Stick Figure Sets, sold on Walmart by BlissfulDestiny (approximately 10,750 units affected), and Vndueey Magnetic Men Toy Sets, sold through online retailers. Both were recalled on October 1, 2026.

What to Do Right Now

If you have either of these products at home:

• Take the toys away from children immediately.
• Stop all use.
• Contact GBYMIUY for a full refund of the GBYMIUY/BlissfulDestiny Magnetic Stick Figure Sets.
• For Vndueey Magnetic Men Sets, contact the seller or the CPSC for refund information.

The CPSC also issued a warning (separate from the formal recall) for the GBYMIUY/Vndueey products — these carry a stronger "stop use immediately" directive than a standard recall notice.

Part of a Wider Pattern

These two recalls are not isolated. In 2026, the CPSC has issued recalls or warnings for multiple magnetic toy products including Generic Magnetic Ball Sets sold on Amazon by Ritons, GLMZZ Fidget Magnet Ball Toys, and Based Online Fidget Magnet Ball Toys — all involving the same high-powered magnet ingestion hazard.

The common thread: these products are typically sold through large online marketplaces by third-party sellers and often don't go through the same safety vetting as toys sold through traditional retail. Families shopping for magnetic toys, building sets, or fidget toys online should look for products that explicitly cite compliance with the ASTM F963 mandatory toy safety standard.
