KTSM added these details:

Yi Suen Commerce is aware of two children having to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and at least 27 other reports of the toys breaking or opening, according to the CPSC.

“When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system,” the CPSC adds. “This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.”
