Colombia-themed magnetic board games ("Cositas Colombianas," four- and six-player versions) were sold at Centro Envíos Aventura in Miami and on Amazon.com. They were recalled because the game pieces contain loose high-powered magnets that can cause serious internal injury or death if swallowed, violating the mandatory standard for toys.

CPSC's own wording, unchanged.

Hazard

The recalled board games violate the mandatory standard for toys because the magnetic game pieces contain loose high-powered 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.

Sold at

Centro Envíos Aventura in Miami, Florida and online at Amazon.com from April 2023 through June 2025 for between $20 and $50.
