Health Canada Recalls Klask 4 Game Over Magnet Safety Risk

Health Canada has announced a recall of the Klask 4 board game, citing a significant safety risk posed by the magnets included in the product. Specifically, these magnets can be easily ingested by children, leading to serious health hazards.

The recall pertains to the Klask 4 board game, model number K8330, and the associated Universal Product Code (UPC) 6430031713305. The game consists of a board, two legs, two orange balls, seven white magnets, four striker and steering magnets, four scoring markers, and a rulebook.

According to findings from Health Canada’s sampling and evaluation program, the magnets do not comply with the magnetic force requirements established under the Toys Regulations. This non-compliance raises concerns about the safety of the game, particularly for children who might accidentally swallow the magnets.

The ingestion of small, powerful magnets poses a life-threatening risk. If more than one magnet is swallowed in a short timeframe, they can attract each other through intestinal walls. This can lead to severe complications, including twisted intestines, blockages, or even perforations.

As of February 6, 2026, Asmodee Canada has reported no incidents or injuries related to this product within Canada. However, consumers are urged to cease use of the recalled game immediately. Those who have purchased the game should contact Asmodee Canada or the retailer from which it was bought to obtain a replacement kit.

Asmodee Canada can be contacted directly at 450-424-0655 or via email at [email protected].

Health Canada is actively encouraging consumers to report any health or safety incidents related to this or other consumer products. Reports can be submitted online through a Consumer Product Incident Report Form.

This recall serves as a reminder of the importance of safety regulations in children’s toys and games. Parents and guardians are advised to remain vigilant and to ensure that all toys comply with safety standards to prevent potential hazards.
