Mattel Doggie Day Care™ Magnetic Toys Due to Magnets Coming Loose
Check whether yours is affected, then follow the instructions below.
What’s wrong
Small magnets inside the toys can fall out. Magnets found by young children can be swallowed or aspirated. If more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause intestinal perforation or blockage, which can be fatal.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Fall risk.
