Crayola is recalling thousands of products due to concerns about child safety across the country.

The safety of our children is of utmost importance, which is why Crayola has taken the necessary steps to recall thousands of their CreateOn Pip-Cubes toys. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) made the announcement on December 4th, expressing concerns about potential risks of serious injury or even death for children who play with these magnetic building cubes.

According to the CPSC, approximately 9,400 units are affected by this recall. The main concern is an "ingestion hazard", as the magnetic cubes can easily become loose if the seams separate. This can lead to serious consequences if the magnets are swallowed. The CPSC warns that when high-powered magnets are ingested, they can attract to each other or other metal objects and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and blockage of the intestines, as well as blood poisoning and even death.

These Pip-Cube sets, which were priced around $20, were manufactured in China and sold at Michael's stores nationwide, as well as online at Michaels.com and Amazon.com from May to July. Each cube bears the Crayola brand name on the left side, and the model/UPC numbers for the recalled items can be found on the bottom of the packaging. The two editions affected by the recall are the "Bold Colors" and "Glitter" sets, which come in packs of 24 or 27 cubes.

Fortunately, there have been no reported injuries related to this product so far. However, the CPSC strongly urges consumers to stop using the recalled magnetic building cubes immediately and return them using the pre-paid label provided by CreateOn. But don't worry, if you still want to play with Pip-Cubes, replacement sets are also available.

CreateOn, the manufacturer of these recalled cubes, will provide a pre-paid mailing label for anyone who needs to return their product. A spokesperson from Crayola confirmed that these Pip-Cubes are licensed products made by CreateOn, and the company is fully cooperating with the CPSC's recall.

In a statement, the spokesperson from CreateOn expressed their commitment to product safety and their cooperation with the CPSC in this voluntary recall. They have taken all necessary actions, including notifying consumers, updating their website with recall instructions, and working with their retail partners to remove the affected product from shelves.

As a parent, it is always important to be aware of potential hazards and take necessary precautions to protect our children. With this recall, we can rest assured that Crayola and CreateOn are taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety of our little ones. Let's all do our part and follow the CPSC's instructions to prevent any potential harm.
