Recalled Culture King’s Magnetic Levitation Sneaker Display 2 - black

Name of Product: Sneaker Basel Double Magnetic Levitation Displays

Recall Date: March 21, 2024

Recall Number: 24-166

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.

Sold At: Online at culturekings.com from July 2020 through January 2023 for between $68 and $260.

Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled displays, store them away and contact Culture Kings for a full refund. Consumers should keep the magnets at least six inches apart during handling. If the magnets come together, consumers should not attempt to separate them. Consumers will be asked to request free “Recalled Product” stickers for the magnets and to place a sticker on the metal side of each magnet, destroy the display by cutting the power cord, and upload a photo of the stickered magnets and destroyed display to https://www.recallrtr.com/sneakerdisplays. The magnets and sneaker display should be discarded after the refund is received.

Units: About 4,300
