What to do now

The risk with Sucetoy Magnetic Chess Toy sold on Amazon is choking: a part can detach and fits inside a child’s airway.

  1. Remove it from the toy box or cot straight away.
  2. Check the floor and play areas for any parts that have already come off.
  3. This is a safety report rather than a manufacturer recall: the listing has been taken down, but the seller may not contact you. Get in touch with the seller through the marketplace.
  4. Report it to Trading Standards through the Citizens Advice consumer service if the seller does not respond.

Why it matters. Children under three put things in their mouths. Anything small enough to fit through a toilet-roll tube is a choking hazard for them.

If someone has been hurt

Look out for

  • coughing, gagging or noisy breathing after playing with it

Getting your money back

Contact the seller through your order history and say that the product is the subject of an OPSS safety report. Keep screenshots of the listing and your order.

Summary

Product Safety Report for Sucetoy Magnetic Chess Toy sold via Amazon presenting a serious risk of choking and injuries.

The risk

The product has been identified as presenting a serious risk of choking and internal injuries due to the presence of small parts as received. A young child may place a small part in their mouth and cause the child to choke.

The magnetic toy was also found to have a magnetic flux index of 222 KG²mm², greater than the maximum permissible level of 50 KG²mm². Small, high-powered magnetic products can be easily swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract.

The product also requires improvements to marking and labelling.

The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

Advice to consumers

We recommend owners stop using this product immediately and keep it out of the reach of young children. Contact the distributor you purchased from to request redress.

The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon).
