Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft is recalling about 1,800 Foam Pumpkin Turkey Craft Kits because the magnets holding the pumpkin together can become loose. This adult seasonal craft item, which resembles a turkey when finished, contains six small magnets that pose a severe health risk to children if swallowed. These kits were sold exclusively at Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft stores nationwide between August 2012 and October 2012 for about $8. Consumers should immediately stop using the kit and return it to any Jo-Ann store for a full refund.
If a child swallows the small magnets, they can link together inside the intestines and clamp onto body tissues. This can cause life-threatening injuries including intestinal obstructions, perforations, sepsis, and death.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled kit and return it for a full refund to any Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Store.
