Product Recall: Cars-themed backpack game pieces
Filed under: Health & Safety: Babies, Toys, Shopping and recalls
Global Design Concepts Inc., of New York, N.Y., in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, is voluntarily recalling the Magnetic Game Pieces sold with their "Cars" Themed Backpacks. There are small magnets inside the game pieces which can fall out and could be swallowed by children. If more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause intestinal perforation or blockage. This can be fatal. There have been three reports of the magnets coming loose, but luckily, no injuries.The backpack is twelve inches in length and was sold with four magnetic game pieces, including red and blue plastic cars and red and black plastic disks with "Gas", "Oil", and "Service printed in red letters around the outside. These backpacks were sold at Target stores across the country from February through September of this year, for about $13.
If you've purchased this backpack, take the game pieces away from children immediately and call the recall hotline for instructions on returning the recalled game pieces for a free replacement "Cars" wallet or equivalent product. For more information, contact the Cars Backpack Recall hotline toll-free at (877) 848-4070 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the recall web site.

Classic Game Room - TOTAL RECALL Review For NES
Total Recall video game review. http://www.ClassicGameRoom.com Classic Game Room reviews TOTAL RECALL from Interplay and Acclaim from 1990, based on the original Total Recall movie! Sadly the game isn't as good as the movie. In fact it's not as good as a botched trip to Mars where you get attacked by mutants. The original Total Recall film was directed by the awesome Paul Verhoeven (Robocop, Starship Troopers) and stars the highly quotable Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Roger Sinasohn said...Y'know what's weird? I was standing in the hall downstairs, talking on the phone, and realized that right there, staring me in the face, was this very backpack with the recalled game pieces still attached.
Despite my confessed magnetophobia, I wouldn't have known of this recall without having covered it for ParentDish.
