Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, matching the High rubric criterion. The source explicitly states "None reported" for injuries, so the score is capped at 3.

Plain-English summary

This recall involves CuberShop Magnetic Stickerless Speed Cubes, model YJ MGC 5×5, imported by SKY CUBE HK of China. The 5×5 puzzle cubes have six colored sides and the "MGC" logo on the center. The packaging includes spare magnets in a sealed plastic bag.

The recalled cubes violate the mandatory federal toy standard because they include loose high-powered magnets. If swallowed, the magnets can attract each other or other metal objects and become lodged in the digestive system, potentially causing intestinal perforations, twisting, blockage, blood poisoning, and death. No injuries have been reported.

About 132 units were sold online at Amazon.com from April 2025 through June 2025 for between $20 and $25.

Consumers should immediately take the loose magnets away from children and stop using them. Contact SKY CUBE HK at [email protected] for instructions on receiving a $5 refund. Consumers will be asked to throw away the magnets and email a photo of the disposed magnets; they may keep the cube.
