Target is recalling about 19,000 Magnetic Tic Tac Toe games because the magnets can detach from the game pieces. If these small magnets are swallowed, they can cause severe internal injuries or death. Target has received one report of a magnet falling off a game piece, though no injuries have been reported. These games consist of a 10 x 10 inch plywood board with nine "X" and "Heart" pieces and were sold at Target stores nationwide from December 2016 through February 2017.
Detached magnets pose a serious choking hazard to children. If two or more magnets are swallowed, they can attract each other through intestinal walls, causing obstructions, perforations, sepsis, and potentially fatal internal injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled tic tac toe game and return it to any Target store for a full refund.
