The recalled One Piece™ toy is: One Piece™ Triple Slash Zolo Roronoa™ figure with model number J4142.

Hazards

Small, powerful magnets inside the accessories of the toy figures can fall out and be swallowed or aspirated by young children. If more than one magnet is swallowed, they can attract inside the body and cause intestinal perforation, infection or blockage, which can be fatal.

Reported injuries

The firm is aware of 21 incidents where a magnet fell out of the toy figure, including a case of a 3-year-old boy who was found with a magnet in his mouth. The boy did not swallow the magnet and no injuries have been reported to Mattel and CPSC.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the toy and contact Mattel for instructions on how to return it to receive a free replacement toy.
