Magnetic Chess Games Recall

Serious Injury or Death from Magnet Ingestion; sold on Amazon by Kaiwenshangpin.

CPSC recall #26289 · announced Feb 26, 2026 · verified Jul 30, 2026

Hazard

The recalled magnetic chess games violate the mandatory standard for toys because they contain loose 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.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using the recalled magnetic chess games immediately, take them away from children, and dispose of them. To receive a full refund, consumers will be asked to email a photo of the disposal to [email protected].
