Crayola Toy Recall: pip-Cubes Pulled Nationwide Over Magnet Ingestion Hazard

A recall has been issued for Crayola‑branded pip-Cubes after regulators identified a magnet ingestion hazard. The building toys, marketed for creative play, may release small magnets if seams split. Ingestion of these magnets can cause severe internal injuries.

What Is Being Recalled

The recall covers about 9,400 pip-Cube sets sold in the United States between May and July 2025. The affected toys include Bold Colors and Glitter sets packaged in 24‑ and 27‑piece collections. Each cube carries the Crayola logo, and the packaging lists the model numbers tied to the recall:

• Bold Colors 24‑piece set (Model 1000199)
• Bold Colors 27‑piece set (Model 1000205)
• Glitter 24‑piece set (Model 1000243)
• Glitter 27‑piece set (Model 1000250)

Caregivers should compare their children’s toys against these details.

Why It Is Being Recalled

The hazard comes from magnets inside the cubes. If the seams separate, the magnets can come loose. When swallowed, they can connect to each other or to other metal objects inside the digestive tract. If this happens, blockages, perforations, infections, and in extreme cases, life‑threatening complications can occur. Currently, there have been no injuries reported, but the risk is considered significant enough to prompt immediate removal of the toys from circulation.

How to Check If Your Toy Is Affected

Families should inspect pip-Cube sets carefully. Identify the Crayola logo on the cubes and confirm the model number on the packaging. It is part of the recall if the set matches any of the models listed above. Even if the toy has not yet shown signs of damage, the risk remains because magnets can loosen over time.

Next Steps If You Are Affected

If your set is included, remove it from children’s play areas immediately. You will need to contact CreateOn. They are the importer of the cubes and will give you instructions on returning the product and obtaining a refund or replacement. The company is providing prepaid shipping labels to help with the process. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to report any incidents to the Consumer Product Safety Commission to assist in monitoring the situation.

There are always different reasons why products or items are recalled. This one is showing the importance of strict safety standards in children’s products. Magnets are powerful, and when they end up inside the body, they can cause serious harm. Playtime can still be safe, and caretakers can help reduce the risk. Always be vigilant when this happens.
