NEW YORK (PIX11) – A recall has been issued for thousands of CreateOn Crayola-branded products sold nationwide at Michael’s Stores and on the Michael’s Stores website.


The recall is for the 24-piece CreateOn Crayola-branded pip-Cubes, which contain magnets that can become loose and pose a hazard to children if ingested, according to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission. 

Approximately 9,400 units have been recalled due to an ingestion hazard posed to children, according to the recall. 

The recall states that the units can “become lodged in the digestive system,” resulting in “perforations, twisting and or blocking of the intestines, blood poisoning, and death.”
