✅ Slow down. ✅ Stay alert. ✅ Follow crossing guard instructions. ✅ Stop for pedestrians in crosswalks.

Hazard: The recalled magnetic building cubes contain magnets that can become loose if the cubes break or open, posing a magnet ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.

Remedy: Consumers should stop using the recalled magnetic building cubes immediately and contact Yi Suen Commerce for a full refund. Consumers will be provided with a pre-paid label to return the recalled magnetic cubes to receive a refund.

Whether you're riding a bike, scooter, skateboard, or other micromobility device, safety should always come first.

Before you ride: 🪖 Wear a properly fitted helmet
👀 Watch for cars at driveways and intersections
🚦 Follow traffic signs and signals
📱 Keep your attention on the road, not your phone

Getting around on wheels can be fun and convenient, but being alert helps keep every ride a safe one.
