Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Recalled product: Family Dollar Recalls Magnetic Dart Boards; Ingested Magnets Pose Aspiration and Intestinal Hazards

The hazard

Small magnets at the ends of the darts can detach. 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 perforations or blockages, which can be fatal.

What to do

Consumers should immediately take the recalled toys away from children and return the board and all of the darts to a Family Dollar store for a refund.
