Magnetix is a construction activity based on a combination of magnetic rods and steel balls. Playing is simple, connect ball and rod to create infinite shapes and objects. Sets also include varying combinations of connectors, flexors and extenders; translucent and primary curves; lights, triangles, squares and special twists. Exciting and visually stimulating, they come glow-in-the-dark, metallic silver, ruby red, iridescent gold and other wild assortments for maximum creativity
According to TD Monthly, a trade magazine for the toy industry, Magnetix sets are among the top 10 most-wanted building sets, and are top sellers on web including Amazon, KBToys, and Walmart. It was also nominated for 2005 Activity Toy of the Year by the Toy Industry Association, and was included in the Hot Dozen list for 2005 published by Toy Wishes.
Sadly, on April 19th, 2007, the CPSC ordered further Magnetix recalls, recalling over 4 million sets. “To date, CPSC and Mega Brands are aware of one death, one aspiration and 27 intestinal injuries. Emergency surgical intervention was needed in all but one case. At least 1,500 incidents of magnets separating from the building pieces have been reported.”
No worries, magnetix safety issue as been resolved lately.
