Jurisdiction. United States

Hazard (official). The recalled children’s chess games violate the https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/01/18/2024-00741/safety-… standard for toys because they contain loose magnets posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, they 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.

Action / remedy (official). Consumers should stop using the recalled games immediately, take them away from children and contact n b plus for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to write “RECALLED” in permanent marker on the games and send a photo of the marked games to zelbuckrecall@sina.com. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled product.
