Hazard

The recalled children's 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, 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.

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.
