On February 24, 2026, there was a recall for the Christmas-themed Magnetic Chess Games. According to the recall, number 26-287, the recalled magnetic chess games violate the mandatory standard for toys because they contain loose magnets that pose an ingestion risk to children. When any high-powered magnets are swallowed, they can attract each other or other metal objects and become lodged in the digestive system, which can result in perforations, twisting, or blockage of the intestines as well as blood poisoning and death.
The recall affects approximately 5,300 units of the product.
The recalled Christmas-themed games consist of 20 magnets, a red string, game instructions, and a red drawstring storage bag. The words “Merry Christmas,” and holiday images, including snowmen, a Christmas tree, and a Santa Claus, are printed on the front of the game box. “Magnetic” is printed on the back of the box.
The defective game was sold online via Amazon.com from November 2024 through November 2025 for about $7 each. According to the recall, no incidents or injuries have been reported.
Still, affected consumers are being urged to immediately stop using the recalled magnetic chess games, take them away from children, and contact the company (Yiruikeji2024) for a full refund. Consumers will also be provided with instructions on disposing the product before obtaining their refund.

- Blood poisoning
- Death

Is there a Class Action Lawsuit?
Because the recall is so recent and no injuries/incidents have been reported, there is no class action yet, but that does not mean that a claim will not arise. Class action claims and mass torts claims are very common when it comes to product recalls, although claims can be delayed if affected consumers do not come forward to report the incident and resulting harm. Can I file a class action lawsuit? Yes, and your claim can be the first to start the class action. What if there is already a claim? How can I join or be a part of a class action lawsuit on this case? Normally, participating in these claims can be as simple as reaching out to a class action lawyer.
