“If two or more are accidentally swallowed, they could attach to each other or another metal object and become lodged in the digestive system. This could potentially cause the intestines to twist or become blocked, leading to infection, blood poisoning, and even death.”
I wonder if this scenario was in ‘A Thousand Ways To Die”?
You could ‘accidentally’ swallow a magnet and attach yourself to your own refrigerator.

Well then, the parents need to be recalled, not the coolers.

Tide is not happy losing their share of the market.

it's not an easy task to constantly scan the immediate area that children are in looking for potential hazards, especially if a piece pops off of something already in the immediate area - that doesn't make anyone a bad parentWell then, the parents need to be recalled, not the coolers.

I agree, it's not an easy task. Being a good parent isn't supposed to be easy. If you can't be bothered to supervise them when they're most vulnerable, don't procreate. It's really that simple.
Accidents do happen, but if a child is still in the "taste everything" stage of life, it is the parents duty to be sure their child is safe from choking hazards. No matter what hilarity clitongue says, it doesn't take a village. It takes parents that actually parent their children.
That's the beauty of capitalism. If they don't fit your need, buy something else. I don't personally own any Yeti coolers, but don't rule out future purchases. They make some fairly rugged coolers in odd sizes to fit many needs. Even a cheaper Igloo cooler is a good general purpose cooler if you buy a can of spray foam to fill up the dead spaces. I prefer the white coolers because they're US made (at least mine is) and replacement hardware is available for most of them.
I turned one into a portable livewell to keep my perch alive.
I taught my kids to never eat more than one magnet per day. Problem solved.
Yeah but if one of them ever gets constipated, it plays hell with the television whenever they walk by.

I want to know who made that rule up.My children didn't die (although we were tempted more than once), and so far, their children haven't either, so, winning.
But if that were the problem wouldn't the overlords be recalling literally everything? Kids try to eat everything they get their hands on, I'd think Yeti cooler magnets would be WAY down the list of things to worry about.

It might be the type of magnets, neodymium magnets are extremely strong and fairly expensive, so cheaper items generally don't use them. I also believe they are toxic if eaten.
The use of magnets in a cooler is stupid IMHO anyway. Yeti are over priced, all they did was double the thickness of the walls and started using a rotomold technique for the outside. My $80 igloo that is blow molded can hold things cold for just as long.
