Plain-English summary

Fisher-Price Inc. is voluntarily recalling approximately 21,000 cookie-shaped refrigerator magnet toys and 49,000 Magic Motion Mobile crib mobiles in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall involves the Refrigerator Activity Magnet Set (No. 71126), specifically the cookie-shaped magnet with date codes 224 through 228, and the Magic Motion Mobile (No. 71153).

Additionally, the company received 78 reports of mobile parts detaching, with 41 reports involving the rotating ring and mirror falling into cribs, resulting in 15 injuries such as bumps and bruises.

Consumers should immediately take these toys away from children and call Fisher-Price toll-free at 800-233-4004 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday, to receive a free replacement cookie magnet or replacement parts for the mobile.
