I know there have been recalls for this product but in all honesty there are small parts, so young children that might put the magnet in their mouth (we've never had one fall out) shouldn't be playing with them.
My Granddaughter age 4 1/2 (when bought, now age 7) loves them, but she was supervised at first now she gets them by herself.
