Recalled Who's Hiding in the Garden? and Who's Hiding in the Ocean? magnetic maze boards

Description

This recall involves wooden magnetic maze boards. The wooden boards have a clear plastic sheet that covers small wooden or plastic pieces located inside a maze. A plastic wand containing a magnet in its tip is attached to the board by a cord. The wand is used to move items inside the maze. The top of the board reads: "Who's Hiding in the Garden?," "Who's Hiding in the Ocean?," "Magnetic Counting Maze," "Magnetic Alphabet Board" or "My Community Magnetic Board."

Hazards

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.

Reported injuries

Lakeshore has received ten reports of wands separating and magnets detaching. No injuries have been reported.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately take this toy away from children and contact Lakeshore to receive a free replacement product.
