38,507 Magnetic Toy Sets Sold on Amazon Recalled After Two Kids Hospitalized for Swallowing Magnets

Two kids ended up in the hospital after swallowing magnets from a toy that had been sitting on Amazon's shelves for nearly four years. Now 38,507 of them are getting pulled.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of Jerify Magnetic Humanoid Toy Sets on Thursday, September 17. The manufacturer is Hefei Hanchan Network Technology Co., doing business as Colerinsec, and the toys were made in China, according to the Daily Mail.

Each 30-piece set includes 2.7-inch bendable humanoid figures in colors like brown, white, green, peach, yellow, pink, blue, orange, purple and red. High-powered magnets sit inside the hands and feet, according to the CPSC.

That's the problem. The magnets detach easily. Federal safety standards flat-out prohibit toys with loose or removable magnets that kids can choke on or swallow, and these violated that standard, per the CPSC.

CPSC and Colerinsec confirmed two incidents in which children pulled magnets loose from the figures' limbs and swallowed them. Both kids were hospitalized, according to the CPSC and confirmed by People and WFTV.

If a kid swallows more than one magnet, the pieces can attract each other through the walls of the intestine. That can cause perforations, twisting, blockages, blood poisoning, or death, the CPSC warns.

The sets sold exclusively on Amazon from October 2022 through May 2026 for about $21 apiece. No brand name appeared on the figures themselves. They shipped in an unlabeled clear plastic bag inside a brown box marked only with "Jerify" and the item number X003ADA3TD, according to the CPSC and the Daily Mail.

If you've got one, CPSC says stop using it immediately, take it away from kids, and email Colerinsec to request a refund. The company is requiring customers to destroy the toy and email a photo proving it's been thrown away before issuing that refund.

Colerinsec did not respond to a request for comment from People, according to Yahoo News' reporting on the recall.

Magnetic toys remain a repeat problem

This is the fourth toy recall announced in the same week, according to the New York Post, which tallied the total number of recalled items at more than 360,000. Busy Boards sold on Amazon got pulled after red knobs were found to snap off and pose a choking risk. Target recalled toy firetrucks after 26 reports of a fire hose port detaching. Squishy toys with expandable water beads got recalled too, over intestinal blockage risk if swallowed.

Magnetic toys specifically have been a repeat offender. The Daily Mail reported that CPSC recalled about 2,186 BUSOHA magnetic fidget sliders in August after their silicone casings were found removable, though no injuries were reported that time. A separate August recall covered roughly 860 Pixlabby magnetic fidget sliders after a child removed the casing, swallowed two magnets, and was hospitalized. In February, about 1,300 magnetic chess games sold on Amazon were recalled for the same kind of loose, separable magnets.

People's reporting, carried by Yahoo News, also noted a March 2026 case in which a young girl needed emergency surgery after a swallowed magnetic fidget toy tore through her intestine and appendix, and a July 2025 case where a 7-year-old boy nearly died after swallowing magnets from a popular game.

The vetting gap

A reasonable question: how does an unlabeled, unbranded product with no manufacturer name on the item itself sell on Amazon for nearly four years before enough incidents pile up to trigger federal action? CPSC recalls are largely reactive, triggered by reported injuries, not proactive product testing at the point of listing.

No investigation into Amazon's vetting process has been announced. But the pattern of magnetic toy recalls this year, five separate incidents across four products, raises a structural question: third-party marketplace listings with no brand name and no US manufacturer contact make it hard for parents to know what they're actually buying until something goes wrong.

Colerinsec has not issued a public statement beyond the CPSC recall notice. Parents who purchased the Jerify sets between October 2022 and May 2026 have no deadline yet from CPSC to complete the refund process, and it remains unclear how many of the 38,507 units are still in homes with young children.
