This recall involves approximately 55,000 Auto World Unassembled Deluxe Pit Kit slot cars sold in various vehicle models. The kits contain two loose, high-powered magnets that are intended to be installed during assembly but pose a severe ingestion hazard while loose. These kits were sold for about $22 from July 2023 through February 2024 at retailers like Hobby Lobby and online at autoworldstore.com. Consumers should immediately take the unassembled kits away from children and contact Round 2 to receive a pre-paid return label for a full refund. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
The loose magnets included in the unassembled kits violate federal safety regulations for high-powered magnets. If a child swallows more than one magnet, or one magnet and another metal object, the magnets can attract each other through intestinal walls, leading to serious internal injuries such as perforations, blockages, infection, blood poisoning, and potentially death.
Consumers should keep the recalled, unassembled Deluxe Pit Kit slot cars away from children and contact Round 2 to receive a pre-paid label to return the recalled slot cars for a full refund. Round 2 is notifying all known purchasers directly.
