Magnetic Chess Game recalled due to ingestion hazard
Summary
Immediately stop using the recalled product, take them away from children and request a refund.
Affected products
This recall involves magnetic chess game with magnetic stones that are small, spherical, loose and separable with a strong magnetic flux. The games are sold in a blue box with the word “Magnetic” on the box or a red Merry Christmas box with the word “magnet” on the box. The game includes about 20 loose magnets, a string, a small drawstring bag, instructions for play and may contain a sponge egg carton shape lining.
Issue
Health Canada's sampling and evaluation program has determined that the magnets do not meet the magnetic force requirements of the Toys Regulations and pose an ingestion hazard.
Small, powerful magnets can be easily swallowed by children of all ages, posing serious and potentially life-threatening risks.
When more than one powerful magnet is swallowed in a short period of time, the magnets can attract one another while moving through the intestines. This can cause the intestines to twist, creating blockages or tearing of the intestinal walls.
As of February 26, 2026, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.
