🛡️ Safety & recalls
Check before you buy — and before hand-me-downs. Everything here comes from official recall notices and verified safety advisories, with the source linked. We report facts, not opinions.

Official notice →High-powered magnet sets are 14+ by federal rule — swallowed magnets attract through intestinal walls and cause life-threatening injuries. Keep away from children; this is an adult desk toy, not a kids' building set.
Official notice →Sources: official government recall listings (e.g. CPSC) and manufacturer safety notices. Found something we missed? Send it to us. Recalled products remain searchable so families can find the warning, but are removed from recommendations and purchase links.
