Product
8 August 2024 - recall updated: Information added than an incident has occurred involving a child. Tote coolers, backpack coolers and gear case with magnetic closures (various colours).
Why it was recalled
The magnet-lined closures of these products can fail and may cause the magnets to be released from the closure.
Hazard
If more than one small high-powered magnet is swallowed, the ingested magnets can stick together across the walls of the intestine or other digestive tissue, which can lead to serious internal injuries and even death. The magnets may pose a choking hazard to young children (small parts). An incident has occurred in the United States where a young child swallowed a magnet from the cooler bag.
