2026-04-08 – A child bit off and swallowed the tip of a magnet pan from a Kikidex Green and yellow drawing board, prompting a choking hazard report filed with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on SaferProducts.gov. The incident, involving a product manufactured by Shenzhen Kairui Chuhai Technology Co., Ltd. dba KIKIDEX, highlights the dangers of small detachable parts in children's toys. The CPSC database received the report on February 11, 2026. Product DetailsBrand Name: Kikidex Green and yellow Incident OverviewAccording to the CPSC report, the consumer's son bit off the tip of a magnet pan that came with a standard drawing board and swallowed it. The incident occurred with a Kikidex Green and yellow product, which the consumer had purchased from Amazon. The child ingested the small magnet piece, but luckily only one was swallowed, and no serious damage resulted. The consumer sought medical attention, as indicated by the severity classification. The magnet pan was used as intended on the drawing board when the detachment occurred. The consumer noted that the product's design allowed the tip to be bitten off, posing a choking hazard. The report does not specify the child's age or the exact date of the incident beyond the report filing date. The product's packaging and condition at the time of the incident were not detailed in the narrative. Safety ConcernsImmediate Dangers: Small magnets like the one swallowed can cause choking, blocking the airway and leading to asphyxiation if not promptly removed. Even when swallowed, a single magnet may pass through the digestive system, but multiple magnets can attract each other through intestinal walls, causing perforations, infections, or life-threatening blockages. Long-Term Risks: Ingested magnets can cause internal injuries that may not be immediately apparent. Delayed complications include bowel obstruction, fistula formation, and sepsis. Children who swallow magnets may require surgical intervention, with long recovery periods and potential for permanent gastrointestinal damage. Who Might Be Affected: Young children, particularly those under three years old, are at highest risk due to their tendency to put objects in their mouths. However, any child with access to the product could be affected. The design defect makes the magnet pan detachable, creating a hazard for all users. Warning Signs: A child who has swallowed a magnet may exhibit choking, gagging, drooling, abdominal pain, vomiting, or refusal to eat. If the magnet passes into the intestines, symptoms like fever, bloody stools, or signs of peritonitis may develop. Immediate medical evaluation is critical.
