Description
The recall involves Barbie and Tanner™ play sets -- model numbers J9472 and J9560. The toys include a "scooper" accessory with a magnetic end. Recalled scoopers have a visible, silver-colored, disc-shaped magnet on the end of the scooper. Scoopers with a white material covering the magnet and products manufactured after January 31, 2007 are not recalled.
Hazard
A small magnet inside the "scooper" accessory can come loose. Magnets found by young children can be swallowed or aspirated. If more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause intestinal perforation or blockage, which can be fatal.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately take the recalled toys away from children and contact Mattel to receive a free replacement toy.
Incidents and injuries
The firm has received three reports of magnets coming loose. No injuries have been reported.
