What matters now
- The recall covers PIXLABBY six-piece silicone magnetic fidget slider sets.

- Consumers should take the sliders away from children, stop using them immediately and contact PIXLABBY for a full refund.
Why the fidget sliders were recalled
The magnetic fidget sliders can release loose high-powered magnets, violating the mandatory standard for toys. If swallowed, high-powered magnets can attract each other or other metal objects and become lodged in the digestive system. This can cause intestinal perforations, twisting or blockage, blood poisoning and death.
How to identify the recalled toy
The recall involves PIXLABBY six-piece silicone magnetic fidget slider sets. The sliders have different silicone textures on their top and bottom surfaces and make a clicking sound when moved. The sets contain sliders in yellow/red, pink/yellow, orange/purple, blue/orange, green/blue and red/green color combinations. The “PIXABBY” logo appears on the front of the box.
