Surveying Accessories Cheaper Recalls Board Games Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Magnet Ingestion; Violates Mandatory Standard for Toys

What's being recalled

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.

The problem, in CPSC's words

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.
