Surveying Accessories Cheaper Recalls Board Games Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Magnet Ingestion; Violates Mandatory Standard for Toys
Recall Overview
| Recall Date | |
|---|---|
| Product | Colombia-themed Magnetic Board Games |
| Units | About 1,200 |
| Hazards | The recalled board games violate the mandatory standard for toys because the magnetic game pieces contain loose high-powered magnets, posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death. |
| Remedies | Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled magnetic board games and take them away from children. Consumers should contact Surveying Accessories Cheaper for a pre-paid shipping label to return the board games for a full refund in the form of the original form of payment or check. |
