> This is like those magnet toys that got banned because some kids ate them. Tiny neodymium magnets are still readily available. You wont find them labeled as toys. The problem is not that some kids ate them (that will happen with any toy containing parts small enough to be eaten) The problem is that when eaten they cause horrible internal injuries. They can cause a kid to go from “fine”, to “has a tummy ache again” to “dying in front of your eyes” relatively quickly and you can’t even diagnose what is wrong without advanced medical imaging. This property is undesireable with something marketed as a toy. How is this a societal overreaction? Let me reiterate, you are still able to buy the thing by the bucketloads they are just in the diy department not in the toy section.
