Outad Good Life Ltd Magnetic Battle Chess with 20 Magnetic Pieces

These Magnetic Battle chess games are being recalled due to safety concerns. These magnetic chess games violate the mandatory federal toy magnet regulation. This violation is due to the set containing magnets that are smaller than the CPSC's small parts cylinder standard, and these magnets are stronger than what is permitted. When high-powered magnets are ingested, they can attract to each other or another metal object, potentially becoming lodged in the digestive system. This situation can lead to serious health issues such as perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning, and even death. In response to this safety risk, the remedy being offered is a refund for the purchase of the product.

The recall date for these chess games is June 13, 2024, and it affects approximately 2,600 units.

This recall pertains to magnetic chess games containing 20 small, spherical magnet stones with a powerful magnetic force, which are easily detachable and pose a risk of ingestion. The products were packaged in blue boxes labeled with terms like “Magnetic”, “Magnetism”, or “Magnetism Intelligence Strategy Game”. Each set includes approximately 20 loose magnets, a string, a plastic storage tray with a sponge lining, and game instructions.

Consumers are advised to cease using the affected magnetic chess games immediately, keep them away from children, and contact Outad Good Life for guidance on obtaining a complete refund. To initiate the return process, consumers can access their Temu account, locate the relevant order in “Your Orders”, and select the “Return/Refund” option. Detailed instructions on the Return and Refund Policy page on Temu.com will guide consumers on obtaining a return shipping label for sending back the recalled products without charge. Outad Good Life is directly informing all identified purchasers about the recall.

No incidents or injuries have been reported thus far. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has estimated that hospital emergency departments treated around 2,400 cases of magnet ingestion from 2017 to 2021. Additionally, CPSC is aware of seven fatalities since 2005 related to the swallowing of dangerous magnets, with two incidents occurring outside the United States.

These magnetic chess games were exclusively available online at Temu.com from December 2023 to February 2024, retailing for approximately $8. The seller, Outad Good Life Ltd., is based in China, where the products were manufactured.

The recall is identified by the number 24-265.
