In the CPSC's words
- Description
- This recall involves Colombia-themed magnetic board games. The recalled games consist of a two-sided board with a storage bag and 32 multi-colored magnetic pieces and two dice with one storage pouch. The original packaging included a piece of chocolate. "Colombia que linda eres" is printed on the game's board. "Cositas Colombianas" is printed on the front of storage box. Only the four- and six-player versions of the board games are included in this recall.
- Hazard
- The recalled board games violate the mandatory standard for toys because the magnetic game pieces contain loose high-powered 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.
- Remedy
- Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled magnetic board games and take them away from children. Consumers should contact Surveying Accessories Cheaper for a pre-paid shipping label to return the board games for a full refund in the form of the original form of payment or check.
