Definitely not for small children: The Consumer Product Safety Commission will likely ban the small but dangerous high-powered magnets known as 'Buckyballs' from the market after one child died another 7,700 were taken to the emergency after swallowing them.

Buckballs ban was overturned and they have been deemed safe. Common sense dictates that you don't give these things to your kids just like you would any dangerous item. ANY magnets are dangerous if you swallow them, so why did they only ban Buckyballs and not *all* magnets?
That ban was like the CPSC going after matches because kids can burn themselves. Very silly, IMHO.

Because not all magnets are little round balls. A kid is not apt to try to swallow a 6-inch horseshoe-shaped magnet. 💩

It's OK to eat just one right? The whole two or more thing tends to become a problem.

^ Best to only let them eat half of one at a time. Besides they'll last longer that way.
