## Why This Recall is Important
The recall primarily revolves around **small, powerful magnets** embedded in unassembled versions of the Deluxe Pit Kit Slot Cars. Although the product is meant for assembly and play, these magnets can easily detach and be swallowed by curious young children.
**Why is this so dangerous?**
- When more than one magnet is swallowed, they can attract each other while inside the intestines.
- This can lead to dangerous health issues, including:
- Twisting of the intestines
- Blockages that impede digestion
- Tears in the intestinal wall that may require surgery to repair
The risks associated with ingesting multiple strong magnets are severe and could even be life-threatening. Toys containing loose magnets must be handled with extreme care to prevent unintended exposure.
