Reason for Recall / Hazard

The sneaker display's magnets can forcefully attract, break, splinter and emit sparks, posing a laceration hazard. In addition, when two or more high-powered magnets are swallowed, either accidentally or intentionally, the ingested magnets can attract each other and become lodged in the digestive system. This can lead to perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines that can lead to infection and death.

This recall involves two models of Culture Kings' Sneaker Basel Double Magnetic Levitation Displays used to showcase floating pairs of sneakers at home by consumers. Model CXF-22, Magnetic Levitation Sneaker Display 2, has a black or black/white color combination rectangular frame.
