Magnetic Boards Recalled
The CPSC announced Thursday a recall of about 18,500 magnetic maze boards made by Lakeshore Learning Materials. The wand presents a hazard to children as it appears it can separate leaving a magnet exposed. This magnet is a choking hazard. If multiple magnets are ingested it could be fatal.
The magnetic maze board’s plastic wand can separate and expose a magnet that can be a choking hazard to children. Also, if a child has more than one of these toys and the magnets detach and are swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause intestinal perforations or blockages, which can be fatal.

Magnets have become increasingly popular in toys, yet we are also seeing an increased amount of injury to children because of them. If your child has suffered a personal injury of any kind, please contact the Law Office of D. Hardison Wood at 919-233-0520.
