Disney Store Recalls Gadget Pencil Cases Due to Magnet Ingestion Hazard

Disney Store is recalling about 300 Gadget Pencil Cases because the magnets on the lids can detach and be swallowed, posing a serious internal injury risk to children.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (magnets posing an ingestion hazard leading to serious internal injuries) where no injuries have yet been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Disney Store USA, LLC is recalling approximately 300 Gadget Pencil Cases sold at Disney Stores nationwide in June 2015 for about $15. The recalled pencil cases are 9 1/2 inches by 4 inches by 1 inch plastic boxes with spring-loaded compartments and lids held closed by two small magnets. The cases feature four different designs: Avengers, Cars, Miles from Tomorrowland, and Multi-Princess.

The recall is due to an ingestion hazard. The two magnets on the lid can detach. If a child swallows these magnets, they can link together inside the intestines, resulting in serious internal injuries. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled pencil cases away from children. To receive a full refund, consumers should contact Disney Store toll-free at (866) 902-2798 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit www.disneystores.com and click on Product Recall at the bottom of the page.
