Product
Avengers Infinity Gauntlet Medals
Hazard
The recalled medals violate the mandatory safety standard for magnets because the high-powered magnets may detach, posing a deadly ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets 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.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the Avengers Infinity Gauntlet Medal immediately and contact The Conqueror for instructions on receiving a full refund or a replacement medal. Consumers will be asked to cut the ribbon from the medal and write "RECALLED" in permanent marker on the medal and ribbon, throw the product away and email a photo of the disposed medal and ribbon to [email protected].
