CPSC recall 26287 · announced February 24, 2026 · Shenzhenshiyiruikejiyouxiangongsi (shenzhenshi Yirui Technology Co., Ltd.), Dba Yiruikeji2024 · 5,300 units affected
The product
This recall involves magnetic chess games. The recalled Christmas-themed games consist of 20 magnets, a red string, instructions and a red drawstring storage bag. "Merry Christmas," and holiday images, including a Santa Claus, snowmen and a Christmas tree, are printed on the front of the game's box and "Magnetic" is printed on the back.
The 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.
