The CPSC announced on Feb. 26, 2026, that Zelbuck is recalling children's chess games due to the risk of serious injury or death from magnet ingestion. Consumers should stop using the products immediately and contact n b plus for a full refund.

How to tell if you have it

  • Zelbuck Magnetism Ball Game Toys
  • Blue turtle-shaped games with white playing board, multi-colored spinner, and 32 black magnetic balls
  • "Magnetism Ball Game" on front of box; "Number 999-9" on back
  • Sold online at Amazon.com from October 2025 through November 2025 for about $14

What to do

Consumers should stop using the recalled games immediately, take them away from children and contact n b plus for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to write "RECALLED" in permanent marker on the games and send a photo of the marked games to zelbuckrecall@sina.com. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled product.

The hazard

The recalled children's chess games violate the mandatory standard for toys because they contain loose magnets posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, they can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.

How to tell if you have this one
