Target Recalls Magnetic Tic Tac Toe Games Due to Choking and Magnet Ingestion Hazards

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

The hazard

The magnets can come off the tic tac toe game pieces, posing a choking hazard. In addition, when two or more magnets are swallowed, they can link together inside the intestines and clamp onto body tissues, causing intestinal obstructions, perforations, sepsis and death. Internal injury from magnets can pose serious lifelong health effects.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled tic tac toe game and return it to any Target store for a full refund.
