Small Fish Montessori Busy Board Toys Recalled: Magnet Ingestion Risk
Small Fish Montessori Busy Board toys (model 2512JX02) recalled due to magnets detaching and causing serious injury or death if swallowed. Consumers must stop using and dispose of items.
The busy boards violate the mandatory safety standard for toys because magnets can detach, posing a deadly ingestion hazard. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.
