Product
Thomas & Friends wooden toy train cars for children aged 2 years and over. Each train car features a connector containing a high-powered magnet which allows the train car to be connected to other train cars. Product and date codes are printed on the underside of the cars.

Why it was recalled
Affected products may not comply with the mandatory standard for toys for children up to and including 36 months of age . The small plastic piece containing a high-powered magnet that connects one train to another can detach from the trains or become loose.
Hazard
There is a risk of young children choking on the connector that contains a magnet if it detaches. There is also a risk of serious internal injuries or death if a child swallows more than one small high-powered magnet as they can stick together across the walls of the child's intestine or other digestive tissue.
