Recalls

The following recalls have been announced:

. About 800 Mag Stix magnetic building sets, distributed by Kipp Brothers, because the magnets inside the plastic sticks could fall out and be swallowed by children. Multiple swallowed magnets can attract each other and cause intestinal perforation or blockage. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has received one report of a child who needed surgery to remove magnets and repair intestinal perforations. Details: by phone at 800-428-1153; by Web at http:www.kipptoys.com or http:www.cpsc.gov.

. About 20,000 Essentials for Kids jewelry sets, imported by Future Industries, because they contain high levels of lead, which is toxic if ingested by young children. No injuries have been reported. Details: by phone at 800-929-0006; by Web at http:www.cpsc.gov.

. All lots of limited edition Scharffen Berger Kumasi Sambirano 68 percent cacao dark chocolate bars, manufactured by U.S.-based Artisan Confections Company, because they may contain milk that is not listed on the packaging. The company, a subsidiary of The Hershey Co., has received one report of an allergic reaction. Details: by phone 866-608-6944.
