Here's what you should do if you bought one of the wooden toy train cars

Two Wooden Railway Troublesome Trucks, one with crates and one with paint, contain a plastic connector with a high-powered magnet that may come off and be ingested by children of all ages.

Swallowing small, powerful magnets can pose "serious and potentially life-threatening risks," said Health Canada. The company has received one report of the plastic connector detaching from the toy in the U.S. but has not heard of any injuries in Canada and U.S.
