This is a really different issue from right to roam. Magnet ingestion is something that will happen when curious little hands get hold of these magnets, and is also not something you can obviously know has happened. That's scary given the great potential for severe adverse health consequences.
- faitswulff 8y agoI don't think it is terribly different. Getting struck by a vehicle is at least as great a danger, if not a much more likely scenario, than ingesting magnets, and is also not immediately apparent for the simple fact that the kids are out of sight. I would put "right to roam" laws as being in opposition to the banning of object like magnets or Kinder Eggs. That said, I do understand they can cause great harm. But what do we lose when we choose to isolate our kids from reality?
- thomasfedb 8y agoA child being struck by a vehicle is almost always immediately obvious to the driver of that vehicle if nobody else. That said, I wouldn't ban magnets myself, though I'm against selling then directly to young children.
