The magnetic chess game is being recalled due to the risk of serious injury or death from magnetic ingestion, according to a recall notice from the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

According to the CPSC, the Kluster Fun Tabletop Magnet Chess Game was recalled on March 12 because the game violates mandatory toy standards because a strong magnet that fits inside the agency’s small parts cylinder is loose and poses a risk of ingestion to children.

The game includes magnets that are approximately 0.5 to 1 inch wide and 0.3 to 0.4 inch tall. The unit will be sold in a black box with the word “Kluster” on the front.

According to the notice, the game includes approximately 24 magnets, an orange string, an instruction manual and a black storage pouch with “Kluster” printed on the front. The game was sold in a white pouch with gameplay instructions on the back.

If ingested, the magnets attract each other and can become stuck in the digestive system, causing perforation, twisting or obstruction of the intestines, sepsis and death, the notice states.

Approximately 151,600 games are affected.

What to do if you have a recalled game

Stoney Games is advising purchasers to immediately stop using the recalled magnet games, keep them away from children, and contact the company for instructions on how to dispose of the recalled magnets and how to receive a replacement magnet that does not have small parts, the notice states.

No injuries or incidents related to the recall have been reported.

These games were sold for $15 to $20 from October 2018 to September 2025 at independent game stores nationwide and online at Klustermagnets.com, Amazon.com, and Etsy.com.

The game was manufactured in China and the recall number was 26-319.
