Urgent Recall: Magnetic Chess Games Pose Serious Safety Risks

Date: April 23, 2026

In a critical safety alert, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a warning regarding Magnetic Chess Games sold by the company Kaiwenshangpin. Consumers are urged to stop using these games immediately due to hazardous magnets that exceed safety standards, posing a significant risk of injury or even death, particularly to children.

The CPSC’s investigation revealed that the magnets in these chess games are not only stronger than permitted but also fit within the agency’s small parts cylinder. This means they can easily be ingested, leading to potentially life-threatening complications such as intestinal perforations, blockages, or blood poisoning.
