The text below is quoted from the CPSC notice word for word.
- What was recalled
- This recall involves magnetic chess games. The recalled Christmas-themed games consist of 20 magnets, a red string, instructions and a red drawstring storage bag. "Merry Christmas," and holiday images, including a Santa Claus, snowmen and a Christmas tree, are printed on the front of the game's box and "Magnetic" is printed on the back.
- The hazard
- 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.
- Injuries
- None reported
- The remedy
- Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled magnetic chess games, take them away from children and contact Yiruikeji2024 for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to send a photo of the disposed product to [email protected].
