Name of product: Christmas-themed Magnetic Chess Games

Hazard: The recalled magnetic chess games violate the mandatory standard for toys because they contain loose magnets posing an ingestion hazard to children.

This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.
