Product Details

Product name Christmas-themed Magnetic Chess Games
Description 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. 
Problem 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.
