Shenzhenshiyiruikejiyouxiangongsi (Shenzhenshi Yirui Technology Co., Ltd.), dba Yiruikeji2024, of China · February 24, 2026
Reason for Recall
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.
