What is this? These are colourful magnetic building tiles for children. The box they come in has a plastic bag that is not safe.

What's happening? The bag’s opening is too big and has strings. A child could pull the strings tight and cover their face, making it hard to breathe.

Does this affect me? If you have small children at home, they could be in danger from this bag.

What should I do? Stop using the bag right away. Ask a pharmacist or doctor if you need help.
