Magnetic board games recalled over loose high-powered magnet pieces

Plain-English summary

This CPSC recall involves Colombia-themed magnetic board games. The record states the games consist of a two-sided board with a storage bag, 32 multi-coloured magnetic pieces and two dice with one storage pouch, that the original packaging included a piece of chocolate, and that "Colombia que linda eres" is printed on the board and "Cositas Colombianas" appears on the packaging.

The recalled board games violate the mandatory standard for toys because the magnetic game pieces contain loose high-powered magnets, posing an ingestion hazard to children. The record states that when high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system, and that this can result in perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.

The record lists about 1,200 units affected. They were sold at Centro Envios Aventura in Miami, Florida and online at Amazon.com from April 2023 through June 2025 for between $20 and $50. No injuries or incidents have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled games and take them away from children, then contact Surveying Accessories Cheaper for a pre-paid shipping label to return the games for a full refund.
