    This isn’t a new issue. Buckyballs have been on our radar for years. I bought some in 2015 and when I got mine there were warnings about not eating them as they can magnet inside the body and pinch intestines and whatnot.

      Yep, I got some then and I thought they had shutdown due to this, but then I noticed here a couple years ago that they made a comeback, and I got some more…

        Even though they were banned for a while, you could always get them from China on places like AliExpress and wish.

          Oh sure, but Buckyballs themselves have since comeback so perhaps the ban was lifted or for a limited time.
