Mattel Recalls Barbie and Tanner™ Magnetic Toys Due to Magnets Coming Loose
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
A small magnet inside the "scooper" accessory can come loose. Magnets found by young children can be swallowed or aspirated. If more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause intestinal perforation or blockage, which can be fatal.
What to do
Consumers should immediately take the recalled toys away from children and contact Mattel to receive a free replacement toy.
