The Parties

VerDate Nov<24>2008
General Counsel, Consumer Product
Safety Commission, 4330 East West
Highway, Bethesda, Maryland 20814–
4408; telephone (301) 504–7667.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The text of
the Agreement and Order appears
below.
2. The Commission is an independent
federal regulatory agency responsible for
the enforcement of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C.
2051–2089.
3. Mega Brands America, Inc. (‘‘Mega
Brands America’’) f/k/a Rose Art
Industries, Inc. (‘‘Rose Art’’) is a New
Jersey corporation, with its principal
office located in Livingston, NJ. Rose
Art was wholly owned by Jeffrey Rosen,
Lawrence Rosen, and Sydney Rosen
until purchased by Mega Bloks, Inc. (a
Canadian corporation) on July 26, 2005.
Pursuant to the terms of the purchase
agreement, Mega Bloks, Inc. could not
assume operational control of Rose Art
until December 31, 2005. Thereafter,
Jeffrey Rosen and Lawrence Rosen
remained in senior management
positions at Rose Art until their
respective departures on April 3, 2006
and May 9, 2006. On June 15, 2006,
Rose Art was renamed ‘‘Mega Brands
America’’.
4. Mega Brands, Inc. f/k/a Mega Bloks,
Inc. (‘‘Mega Brands’’) is a Canadian
corporation located in Montreal,
Quebec, Canada. Mega Brands is the
parent company of Mega Brands
America.
5. At all times relevant herein, Rose
Art designed and manufactured the
Magnetix magnet toys subject to this
Settlement Agreement and Order.
Staff Allegations
6. Between January 2003 and
December 2005, Rose Art manufactured
and/or imported Magnetix magnetic
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
18695
building sets (hereinafter ‘‘Magnetix
set(s)’’ or ‘‘the set(s).’’ 1
7. Magnetix sets are ‘‘children’s
product[s]’’ and ‘‘consumer product[s]’’
and, at the times relevant herein, Rose
Art was a ‘‘manufacturer’’ of ‘‘children’s
product[s]’’ and ‘‘consumer product[s]’’
which were ‘‘distributed in commerce’’
as those terms are defined in sections
3(a)(2), (5), (8), and (11) of the CPSA, 15
U.S.C. 2052(a)(2), (5), (8) and (11).
8. The Magnetix sets are defective
because magnets embedded in small
plastic pieces contained in the sets
could come loose and fall out of the
plastic casing.
9. This defect creates a substantial
risk of injury to children under section
15(c) of the Federal Hazardous
Substances Act, 15 U.S.C. 1274(c)
because, if two or more magnets (or one
magnet and one metallic ball) from a set
are ingested by a child, they can attract
each other through intestinal walls,
causing perforations, twisting and/or
blockage of the intestines, infection,
blood poisoning and death.
10. On December 14, 2005, Rose Art
filed an ‘‘initial report’’ pursuant to
section 15(b) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C.
2064(b), concerning the death of a 22
month old child who died on November
24, 2005. The child had ingested
multiple magnets from a Magnetix set
on separate occasions which
subsequently joined together in his
small intestine, causing a blockage and
sepsis, which led to his death. Rose
Art’s report identified the product as a
Magnetix ‘‘X-treme Combo Flashing
Lights Castle.’’ The firm attributed the
release of magnets from the plastic
pieces to unusually abusive play by the
decedent’s older siblings. The initial
report essentially contained no other
information.
11. At the time of its initial report,
Rose Art was in possession of at least
one report of a child suffering an
unspecified injury from ingesting a
magnet from a Magnetix set and over
1100 consumer complaints that magnets
had come loose or fallen out of plastic
pieces from dozens of different
Magnetix models, but failed to include
that information in its report as required
by section 15(b) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C.
2064(b).
12. On January 13, 2006, CPSC staff
sent Rose Art a letter requesting a Full
Report pursuant to 16 CFR 1115.13(d).
Requested information included copies
of the following: Product liability suits
and/or claims of personal injury;
1 Magnetix sets continued to be manufactured
after 2005, however due to manufacturing and
design improvements instituted by Mega Brands
America, these sets are not the subject of the
allegations set forth in this Agreement.
