Remember Buckyballs? The little spherical magnets that you used as an office play toy or for refrigerator note holders?
There used to be at least three different manufacturers/distributors of these in the U.S.
Then a few kids swallowed some of them. One died and something like 20 others had to have surgery.
Buckyballs and Magnicubes got sued out of business.
Zen Magnets is vowing to stay in the fight till the better end (see link below).
My question: is it unreasonable that millions of people can't own these things because one kid died and 20 others sickened from them?
Is this risk prevention gone too far?
I mean, a kid could swallow any number of other dangerous items--coins, other magnets, safety pins. Keep an eye on your kid when young and teach him/her not to swallow that stuff!
Just think if they do this for magnets, what they would do to come after our guns. If it wasn't for the Second Amendment.
