HoldThisPancake@HoldThisPancake These were slightly superior in tolerance & finish to Buckyballs back when Buckyballs existed. They are supposedly the same size, and should mix without problems if you wanted to combine sets.
Personally I prefer Zen Magnets, but Neoballs are a close second - and your best option if you want colors.
@AABCDS One magnet per child is actually 100% safe. So is two magnets ingested at the same time. The problem occurs if two magnets were ingested at slightly different times, eventually sticking together across the walls of the intestines. The attractive force can rupture the walls, which is a serious issue.
Then again, a lot of items have similar safety concerns (BB guns, etc) and are fine so long as they are labeled. Buckyballs were, and well. The CPSC was entirely out of line.
