Australia gets it right!
There are plenty of uses for small high-powered magnets. So you can legally buy them. You just can't sell them as playthings.
Australia only bans them if they:
"are marketed by the supplier as, or supplied for use as any of the following:
a toy, game or puzzle (including but not limited to an adult desk toy, an educational toy or game, a toy, game or puzzle for mental stimulation or stress relief)"
- smsm42 12y agoThat's a weird way of doing it right. So you can buy it if it says "very serious magnet spheres, definitely not a toy, thinking and relieving stress while touching them is absolutely prohibited!" then it's ok, but if it says "adult desk toy for mental stimulation" then it's banned, even though these are exactly the same things and in both cases the seller has zero control over how exactly they are used? Of course, makes sense.
