What is the hazard with Small Fish Montessori Busy Board Toys?

Small Fish Montessori Busy Board Toys was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The busy boards violate the mandatory safety standard for toys because magnets can detach, posing a deadly ingestion hazard. 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. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.

What should you do if you own this product?

Consumers should stop using the recalled busy boards and immediately take them away from children. Consumers can contact Small Fish for information on how to receive a full refund. Consumers will be asked to throw away the recalled busy board and email a photo of the disposed product to smallfishrecall@163.com. Sold at: Online at Amazon.com from March 2026 through May 2026 for about $16.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.

How many units are affected?

About About 1,013 units of Small Fish Montessori Busy Board Toys are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
