Summary by Recall Canary from the CPSC notice

What happened

Shenzhenshiyiruikejiyouxiangongsi (Shenzhenshi Yirui Technology Co., Ltd.), dba Yiruikeji2024, is recalling Christmas-themed Magnetic Chess Games because they violate the mandatory standard for toys by containing loose magnets that pose 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, leading to serious injury or death. No incidents have been reported. The recall was announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on February 24, 2026.

The games, imported from China, were sold on Amazon.com from November 2024 through November 2025 for about $7. Each game consists of 20 magnets, a red string, instructions, and a red drawstring storage bag. The box front features "Merry Christmas" and holiday images including Santa Claus, snowmen, and a Christmas tree, while "Magnetic" is printed on the back.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled games, take them away from children, and contact Yiruikeji2024 for a full refund.
