Official identifier. 25-281

Date. 2025-05-15

Jurisdiction. United States

Hazard (official). The recalled rollers tile toy violates the mandatory federal regulation for toy magnets because it contains a magnet that can become loose, posing an ingestion hazard to children. 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, infection, blood poisoning, and death.

Action / remedy (official). Consumers should stop using the rollers tile toys immediately and contact the firm for instructions on how to dispose of the product to obtain a $10 credit for use at fatbraintoys.com, or a replacement PlayTab tile. Fat Brain Toy Co. is contacting all known purchasers directly.
