Surveying Accessories Cheaper Recalls Board Games Due To Risk Of Serious Injury Or Death From Magnet Ingestion; Violates Mandatory Standard For Toys
Surveying Accessories Cheaper is recalling Colombia-themed magnetic board games because the game pieces contain loose high-powered magnets that can come out and be swallowed by children. If multiple magnets are ingested, they can attract each other inside the digestive system and cause serious injuries including intestinal perforation, blockage, and potentially death. The recalled games were distributed nationwide.

- Colombia-themed Magnetic Board Games
- Reason
- 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.
