They look great but apparently very dangerous if swallowed.

This might be why they could be difficult to find in the UK..

They are but for the love of God, don't bother. An absolute nightmare (even before you get into the swallowing risk)

Don’t get these, so dangerous.

nocoolnamesleft · 11/12/2022 18:08

I hope they're not available. They're dangerous.

I got them for my teenagers on Amazon, don’t buy for children though.

Very dangerous probably why they may not be available through the normal channels

is it these?

mumof1littlebun · 11/12/2022 19:32

Thank you @IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads that's them. Also thank you for everyone else's concern. They are not individual magnets but come as a block

Actually not I've looked at it further maybe they are individual?! Confused

Nothing good can ever come of kids with magnets. As well as the obvious risk to health factor in a new TV when the child drags one across the screen...

I am shocked these are marketed to children anywhere 😱

Unforgettablefire · 11/12/2022 21:33

What's wrong with magnets? We always had them as kids and these say they're only suitable for ages 14 and up?

Balaya · 11/12/2022 21:36

I bought similar from amazon a few years ago, for adult friend who likes stuff to fiddle with.

They were individual balls and def dangerous for kids.

Fuuuuuckit · 11/12/2022 22:19

They're not a block op - they're individual balls that can be made into sheets, or blocks, or snakes etc.

Pp has linked. They can cause bowel death, taking the shortest route to stick to each other if swallowed.
