Is my product affected?

Sardines Fishing Game and Starfish Fishing Game

  • Brand Juratoys U.S. of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

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

What happened

Juratoys is recalling two fishing game models, Sardines (product number J08152) and Starfish (product number J08153), due to safety hazards. The plastic worm attached to the fishing pole's line can separate, creating small parts that pose a choking hazard to children. Additionally, a small magnet inside the worm can come loose, and swallowing multiple magnets can cause serious internal injury. The games consist of wooden fishing rods and wooden fish with magnetic buttons, packaged in tin containers labeled with the Janod® brand name.

Consumers who own these recalled games should stop using them immediately and keep them away from young children. To obtain a refund, consumers should contact Juratoys for a prepaid shipping envelope to return the game. Juratoys will send a $15 refund check for the Sardines game or a $20 refund check for the Starfish game. Consumers who paid more than these amounts should include their receipt with the returned game to receive a full refund.
