Nah, dog. They should be banned in toy form. I’m not the other guy. They should be used for educational purposes in controlled environments or for industrial use, not around young children or I guess, teens now.
Meh, I was playing with magnets in kindergarten. Supervised of course though, both at home and in school, but even if I wasn’t supervised, I never felt the urge to eat them (or eat Lego or other random non-edible stuff for that matter).
Magnets are a strange wonder that tends to perk our natural human curiosity. While I totally agree that kids shouldn’t handle magnets unsupervised, still the kid was 13?! I’ll never understand it, but there is the condition called Pica, basically the urge to eat random non-food items…
I have no idea really, but bigger questions come to mind, like does the kid already have a history of eating stupid things, why did they eat so many, how did the kid order them from Temu, did the parent(s) approve the order, how did they get into New Zealand where they’re apparently banned…?
You’re right. Let me see if there is a magnet toy that is similar, but more disc like. Also, they’re magnets that are toys. Not magnets within toys.
Found it:
Ah, yeah I get what you mean by toys, yeah they can definitely be fun to play with, responsibly though!
The kid is lucky to be alive, but they just had to learn an obvious lesson the hard way huh? 🤦

At least the kid is still alive. 👍
