Buckyballs and Buckycubes for $15

i think the CPSC did the right thing-- shift the blame from those who are responsible to those who are not...

I mean look at this way people- Kids swallowing Bucky Balls is obviously caused by the producer. It can't be the fact that the parents who buy their kids these toys don't see the "Ages 13+ (not intended for children)" on the box, or even think about watching their kids while they play with. No No, that isn't possible, the parents cannot be held responsible for purchasing a product clearly not meant for children... It's obviously the producer's fault because they somehow brainwashed innocent parents and children to think that reading the box to find the appropriate age is no longer important...


/sarcasm

and once again,. the govt pokes it's abnormally large nose where it shouldn't belong... LEAVE BUCKYBALLS ALONE!! ...idiots!!

Awesome! I got one set of cubes and one set of BALLS

Yeah, fark those kids right?

Obviously everyone should know that a product marketed as a toy should be kept away from kids and if the parents are too dumb to figure it out then their kids deserve to die.

. In its complaint, CPSC likens Buckyballs to erector sets, hula hoops and silly putty—things that adults occasionally play with, but which are specifically made for children. But Craig Zucker, co-founder and CEO of Maxfield & Oberton says that Buckyballs were never marketed to kids. “Toys ‘R’ Us has been asking for our product for years, but we don’t [sell it there],” he says. In fact, the product was originally conceived as a way to promote co-founder Jake Bronstein’s workplace culture blog, Zoomdoggle.com. “Our original intention with Buckyballs was to monetize the blog by selling this stress-relieving desk toy,” Zucker explains. “We have never targeted children or toy stores.”

The commission has documented about 20 reports of kids that have eaten Buckyballs since 2009, including a 4-year-old boy who mistook them for cake decorations and a 10-year-old girl who accidentally swallowed them after she’d put them in her mouth and pretended they were a tongue piercing.
