Beware of counterfeits
Magformers are a wonderful product. Unfortunately, this means you can now find plenty of imitation or counterfeit Magformers on the market.
Never let your children play with magnetic toys where the magnets might come loose, or with loose magnets.
Please be careful not to be cheated by sellers pretending to sell the real product, and certainly do not consciously buy imitation or counterfeit Magformers for various reasons, but the most important reason being your child’s safety.
Why You Should Buy Genuine Magformers?

plastic
The plastic used in genuine Magformers (a type of ABS plastic) is of a very high quality and is used only in Magformers. In fact, the actual plastic used has been created just for Magformers!
This means that no other plastic toy is made from the same plastic as genuine Magformers
Safety Standards
Magformers™ are a wonderful product. They provide hours of educational entertainment for kids and adults alike, and have been certified to meet all relevant U.S. and International safety standards for children's toys
Magformers™ uses magnets to hold the pieces together while children exercise their imaginations. We have gone to great lengths to ensure that the small magnets are encapsulated safely and will not come loose even with a reasonable level of abuse during play. This may not be true for other similar toys that are showing up on the market.
