Recall Overview
| Recall Date | |
|---|---|
| Product | Magnetic Chess Games |
| Units | About 1,300 |
| Hazards | The recalled magnetic chess games violate the mandatory standard for toys because they contain loose 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 stop using the recalled magnetic chess games immediately, take them away from children, and dispose of them. To receive a full refund, consumers will be asked to email a photo of the disposal to [email protected]. |
