Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft recalls foam pumpkin turkey craft kits due to small magnets that can cause serious intestinal injuries if swallowed by young children.
Magnets holding the pumpkin shell pieces together can become loose, posing an ingestion hazard to young children. If swallowed, these magnets can link together inside a child's intestines and clamp onto body tissues, causing intestinal obstructions, perforations, sepsis and death. Internal injury from magnets can pose serious lifelong health effects.
