Discount School Supply is recalling approximately 3,700 Excellerations™ magnetic color sorting boards with cupcake cut-outs. The magnet in the attached wand can detach, and the plywood backing can crack, releasing small metal balls that children can swallow. Additionally, the surface paint on the metal balls contains lead levels that exceed federal safety standards. These boards were sold exclusively at Discountschoolsupply.com from January 2013 through March 2014 for about $36. Consumers should contact the company for a full refund.
If a child swallows both a magnet and a metal ball (or multiple magnets), they can attract each other through intestinal walls, causing serious internal injuries like perforations or blockages. There have been eight reports of components breaking or detaching, though no injuries have been reported yet.
Consumers should immediately stop children from using the recalled board, put it out of their reach and sight, and contact the company for a full refund.
