| 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. | |
