Is my product affected?

Magnetic maze boards

  • Brand Lakeshore Learning Materials, of Carson, Calif.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Lakeshore Learning Materials is recalling magnetic maze boards because the plastic wand can separate, exposing a magnet that poses a choking hazard to children. Additionally, if a child swallows magnets from more than one toy, the magnets can attract each other inside the body and cause intestinal perforations or blockages, which can be fatal. The recalled products are wooden boards with clear plastic sheets covering small pieces in a maze, operated by a corded plastic wand with a magnetic tip. The boards are labeled "Who's Hiding in the Garden?," "Who's Hiding in the Ocean?," "Magnetic Counting Maze," "Magnetic Alphabet Board," or "My Community Magnetic Board."

According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately remove the toy from children and contact Lakeshore to receive a free replacement product.
