Magnetic Chess Games
Magnetic chess games with loose magnets sold on Amazon pose serious ingestion hazard to children, risking intestinal perforation and death.
Stop allowing children access to this product immediately. Do not attempt to separate or remove the magnets. Contact Amazon or Kaiwenshangpin for a full refund or replacement. Seek immediate medical attention if a child has swallowed any magnets.
Why it was recalled
The recalled magnetic 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, 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.
Where it was sold
Online at Amazon.com from August 2025 to November 2025 for about $13.
