Cinmar is recalling approximately 4,500 World Magnetic Travel Maps with burlwood frames because the magnetic markers can be swallowed. If a child swallows two or more of these high-powered magnets, they can link together inside the intestines, causing severe internal injuries or death. These 54-inch wide by 36-inch tall maps were sold exclusively at Frontgate retail stores and online between October 2015 and March 2016 for about $225. Consumers should immediately stop using the magnetic markers and contact the company for replacement magnets.
When two or more magnets are swallowed, they can attract each other through intestinal walls and become trapped, leading to intestinal obstructions, perforations, sepsis, and death. Although no injuries have been reported, magnet ingestion can cause serious, lifelong health effects.
Consumers should immediately stop using the magnetic markers that came with the product, keep them out of reach of children and dispose of them or recycle them. Cinmar is contacting consumers who purchased the products directly and will provide instructions on how to receive replacement magnets.
