The hazard: High-powered magnet hazard

This recall concerns small, strong magnets that can detach. Teenagers are at risk as well as toddlers, because magnets get used to mimic tongue and lip piercings.

What the notice says: The recalled coolers' latch magnet can detach, posing risk of serious injury or death from a choking hazard.

Why it matters: Loose high-powered magnets are dangerous when more than one is swallowed. They attract each other through the walls of the intestine and pinch the tissue trapped between them, an injury that usually needs surgery.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

If you think a child has swallowed magnets — even if they seem entirely well — go to an emergency department and say magnets are involved. Early symptoms are indistinguishable from a stomach bug: stomach pain, vomiting, poor appetite. A single magnet may pass on its own; two or more rarely do, and the team needs to know how many are unaccounted for.

Products covered by this recall

This recall involves Arctic Zone Titan Pro 40 can-capacity, iceless coolers. The rectangular coolers were sold in black and brown and have a built?in bottle opener. The zipperless coolers are collapsible and measure about 15 inches wide, 12 inches deep and 12 inches high when open. The coolers have a hard-top lid with a front latch, a front insulated compartment with a front zippered pocket, two mesh side pockets, a shoulder strap with pad and grab handles. "Titan Pro by Arctic Zone" is printed on the front of the coolers and style number 10006348 is on a sewn-in label inside the front zippered pocket.

What to do about Magnets

This recall concerns small, strong magnets that can detach. Teenagers are at risk as well as toddlers, because magnets get used to mimic tongue and lip piercings.

  1. Put the product out of reach and count the magnets against the number the instructions say it should have.
  2. Make sure older children know that using magnets as fake piercings is a recognised route to a serious injury.
  3. Follow the remedy described on this page rather than keeping the item with the magnets glued back in.
  4. Check under furniture and along skirting boards — stray magnets travel further than you would expect.

How the remedy works

CPSC recalls specify one of three remedies, and which one you get is not negotiable — but how smoothly it goes often is.

  • A refund means the purchase price back, sometimes prorated by age for durable goods. Ask how they calculated it if the figure looks low.
  • A repair kit is shipped free and is designed to be fitted at home; if you cannot fit it, ask whether they will arrange installation.
  • A replacement is usually the current model, not the recalled one. Confirm the replacement is not itself under recall.
  • Several recalls now ask you to destroy the item and send a photo as proof. Register the claim before you do that, never after.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should stop using the coolers immediately and contact California Innovations for a free replacement latch, including shipping. Consumers will also receive replacement instructions and a tool to remove the existing latch and replace it with the new latch.

Company contact: California Innovations toll-free at 888-413-2665 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email at [email protected], or online at https://arcticzone.com/pages/product-recall or https://arcticzone.com, and click "Recall" at the bottom of the webpage.
