Discount School Supply Recalls Sorting Boards Due to Magnet Ingestion Risk and Excessive Lead Levels (Recall Alert)

CPSC · 14734 · published 2014-05-07

CPSC campaign 14734

Hazard

The magnet in the wand can detach and the plywood backing can crack and release small metal balls that are sandwiched between the board and a clear plastic cover. These pose choking and serious internal injury risks associated with ingestion of a magnet and metal ball. The surface paint on the metal balls contains levels of lead that exceed the federal lead paint standard.

Remedy

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.
