Barbie® Doll and Tanner™ Magnet Hazard Recall
Mattel is voluntarily recalling a limited number of Barbie® Doll and Tanner™ sets containing a small powerful magnet in the blue pooper scooper.

This small magnet inside the scooper can fall out -- undetected to parents and caregivers.  Magnets can be swallowed or aspirated by young children or placed by a child in their nose or ears.  When more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract to each other and cause intestinal perforation, infection or blockage, which can be fatal.  Aspiration to the lungs requires immediate surgery.  Magnets placed in the nose or ears can cause swelling and be difficult to remove.

Please check your home, play areas and toys for any loose or liberated magnets.  Remove these from the reach of children.

Please view the images below to determine which scooper you have:
I have a blue scooper that has a silver tip.
I have a blue scooper that has a white tip.
I have a purple scooper.
