Magnetic Buckyballs Toys Discontinued

COLUMBIA, S.C. (CNN) – If you have Buckyballs or Buckycubes as your office secret Santa request this year, you’d better buy them yourself. The popular toys are being discontinued. The company says the Consumer Product Safety Commission endlessly badgered it over concerns with children. This summer, the CPSC sued the makers, saying they are dangerous for children if they’re swallowed. The agency says some kids have had multiple surgeries because of punctured intestines. Buckyballs’ owners say the adult desk toys are still available for sale, but once they sell out that’s it.
