Parents and caregivers, take note: the popular **Floating Stacker - Big Top** and **Floating Stacker - Rainbow** toys have been subject to a significant recall due to a severe choking and ingestion hazard. The small magnetic components of these toys can detach, posing life-threatening risks to young children if swallowed.
Powerful small magnets present unique dangers. If swallowed, these magnets can attract each other through the digestive tract, causing intestinal blockages, perforations, and other devastating injuries. As of **July 30, 2025**, there has been **one report of detached magnets in Canada** and an additional **31 incidents** across the **United States, UK, and Singapore.** This recall highlights the critical importance of prioritizing child safety when it comes to toys with small parts.
