I bought some. They were clearly labeled and clearly not marketed to children. I don't know where you're getting your magnets; perhaps a boot sale?

- DanBC 10y agoThe reason you bought yours with a warning label on and not as a toy for children is because the regulators forced that to happen.
- snowwrestler 10y agoNot many people are going to object to that type of regulatory intervention. Labels are fine. It was the outright ban that pissed people off.
- DanBC 10y agoBut the labels failed; the restriction of sales failed; and some of the companies were resisting better labelling and tighter controls over sales. This was the first court case CPSC took in 13 years to force a recall. That doesn't sound like an out of control regulator.
- zeveb 10y agoAnd American regulators tried to ban importation altogether. That's what this story is about. Regulators & regulations aren't an unmitigated good. They can be better than their lack, or they can be worse.
- CapitalistCartr 10y agoWhich the customers, nanufacturers, and retailers all support. Its the regulators who object, claiming only banning is acceptable.
