Juratoys is recalling about 14,000 Sardines and Starfish fishing games because the plastic magnetic worm on the fishing rod can break off. There have been 417 reports of this worm separating, including four instances where children swallowed a small part. The game sets include wooden fishing rods and various fish pieces housed in a sardine-shaped or starfish-shaped tin. Consumers should immediately stop using these toys and contact the company for a full refund of $15 to $20 depending on the model.
The plastic worm can separate into small parts that pose a choking hazard. Furthermore, the small magnet inside the worm can come loose; if a child swallows more than one magnet, they can attract each other through intestinal walls, causing severe internal injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled games and keep them out of the reach of young children. Consumers should contact Juratoys for a prepaid shipping envelope to return the game. Juratoys will then send a $15 refund check for the Sardines game and a $20 refund check for the Starfish game. Consumers who paid more should include a receipt in the return to receive a full refund.
