Stoney Games Kluster magnet chess game recalled for loose magnet ingestion hazard
What this means
Kluster magnet chess games contain small loose magnets that can be swallowed by children. When multiple magnets are ingested, they can attract each other inside the stomach and intestines, causing serious injury or death from blockages, twisting, or perforation.
- Stop letting children play with the game immediately.
- Take the game away and keep it out of children's reach.
- Contact Stoney Games for disposal instructions and free replacement magnets that are safe.
- If a child has swallowed magnets, seek emergency medical care right away.

The agency's original wording
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.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled magnet games, take them away from children and contact Stoney Games for instructions on how to dispose of the recalled magnets and receive replacement magnets that are not small parts.
