They violate the mandatory toy standard because they contain small, loose, powerful magnets that can cause serious internal injury or death if children swallow them.

CPSC's own wording, unchanged.

Hazard

The recalled magnetic chess games violate the mandatory standard for toys because they contain loose magnets posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.
