Target Recalls Magnetic Tic Tac Toe Games Due to Choking and Magnet Ingestion Hazards

Hazard

The magnets can come off the tic tac toe game pieces, posing a choking hazard. In addition, when two or more magnets are swallowed, they can link together inside the intestines and clamp onto body tissues, causing intestinal obstructions, perforations, sepsis and death. Internal injury from magnets can pose serious lifelong health effects.
