Stoney Games Recalls Kluster Magnet Chess Games Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Magnet Ingestion; Violates Mandatory Standard for Toys
Reviewed and published by MPB Safety Desk
Hazard
The recalled magnet games violate the mandatory standard for toys because they contain loose high-powered magnets that fit within CPSC's small parts cylinder, 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.
What parents need to know
Stoney Games is recalling its Kluster Magnet Chess Games. These games contain small, loose magnets.
The recall is due to a risk of serious injury or death if children swallow the magnets. The magnets are considered small parts and, if ingested, can attract each other or other metal objects within the digestive system. This can lead to severe internal injuries, including perforations and blockages of the intestines, which can be fatal.
If you have this product, please stop using it immediately and keep it away from children. You should consult the full recall notice for detailed instructions on how to safely dispose of the recalled magnets and receive replacement parts.
