Auto World Unassembled Deluxe Pit Kit Slot Cars

The recalled unassembled Deluxe Pit Kit slot cars violate the mandatory federal regulation for magnets because the magnets used to power the car are loose prior to assembly, posing an ingestion hazard to children. Assembled models do not pose this risk and are therefore not subject to this recall. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or another metal object, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death. sold at autoworldstore.com, protinkertoys.com, and hobbylobby.com and in the following stores nationwide: Hobby Lobby, SlotsnStuff, NitroHobbies Inc., Hercules Distributors, RC Superstore, Bobby's Hobby's, Harden Creek Slot Cars, Emery Distributors, Hobbytyme Dis for about $22.
