What this CPSC product recall tells you, and what most readers miss
This notice was issued by CPSC on August 13, 2026 and geographically references United States. Its severity classification of "high" signals how the issuing agency weighs the risk of harm if no action is taken - "critical" and "high" tier alerts typically carry direct consumer actions, while "medium" and "low" tend toward informational guidance or monitoring advisories.

What Happened
CuberShop Magnetic Stickerless Speed Cubes, model YJ MGC 5×5, are being recalled because they were packaged with loose high-powered magnets that violate the mandatory standard for toys. The magnets pose an ingestion hazard to children.
Which Products Are Affected
The recall involves about 132 units of CuberShop Magnetic Stickerless Speed Cubes, model YJ MGC 5×5. The handheld 5×5 mechanical puzzle cubes have six colored sides and the "MGC" logo on the center. They were sold online at Amazon.com from April 2025 through June 2025 for $20 to $25. The packaging included spare magnets packaged separately in a sealed plastic bag.
What You Should Do
Consumers should take the recalled loose magnets away from children, stop using them immediately, and contact SKY CUBE HK for a $5 refund. Consumers must throw away the magnets and email a photo of the disposed magnets to recall@cubershop.com. Consumers may keep the cube.
Why This Matters
When high-powered magnets are swallowed, they can attract each other or other metal objects and become lodged in the digestive system, resulting in perforations, twisting, blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning, or death.
