The Hazard
CLASS 1 WARNING: INGESTION
Magnetic chess games are being recalled. The games have small, powerful magnets that can come loose. If swallowed, these magnets can cause serious internal injuries or death.
About 1,300 units affected.
Why This Happens: Technical Breakdown
The chess games contain small, strong magnets. These magnets are not properly secured and can detach from the chess pieces. This poses a serious risk, especially to children, who may swallow the loose magnets.
When multiple high-powered magnets are swallowed, they can attract each other inside the body. This can cause the magnets to become lodged in the digestive system. The attraction can lead to perforations, twisting, and blockage of the intestines. These injuries can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention.
