Magnet Safety

magnetix.jpg

Pursuant to my recent post on the Goobi magnetic construction toy, I’ve had some inquiries re: recalls such as that of Magnetix (shown; Magnetix pieces with loose parts, also see CPSC notice and NYT article). After hunting around online, I didn’t find recall information related to Goobi products and also was happy to see a report that, following the problems at Magnetix, Goobi underwent testing sessions to try to dislodge their magnet rods from the plastic casings to no avail. I also checked the plastic casings on our set and the inner magnets are firmly set.

We’ve been past the everything-in-the-mouth phase for some time now with Laurel, but, as with all toys with little parts, keep them out of reach of little ones, supervise use and/or talk to older kids about safety issues, and periodically check your products for loose parts.

Comments

Thanks Christine! The Goobi sets are sooo back on our lists for christmas this year!
