Reviewed and published by MPB Safety Desk
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.

These games have been recalled because they contain loose magnets that pose a serious risk if swallowed by children. If a child ingests more than one magnet, or a magnet and another metal object, the magnets can attract each other within the digestive system. This can lead to severe internal injuries, including perforations, twisting, or blockages of the intestines, which can be fatal.
If you have purchased one of these magnetic chess games, please immediately stop using it and keep it away from children. You should consult the official recall notice for detailed instructions on how to proceed and to obtain a refund.
