I sent an email to the Social Team about this toy, but I also wanted to warn any potential buyers.
This toy with the magnetic balls are extremely dangerous and are even recommended for age 1 and up!

Yikes! I had hoped no one was still selling those things.

I have to agree; I don't think this is anything that should be sold for children, especially saying "one year and up". There have been too many stories in the news about children swallowing these magnetic pieces.
One little boy swallowed an entire "chain" of the smaller magnetic balls. He had to be operated on to save his life.
Children put things in their mouths - this shouldn't be one of them!

Thanks so much for that.
I don't think QVC and many other companies look into the safety aspects of many things we use every day.
Those squishy soft bead type things that were put in balls, toys are very toxic and were sold all over several years ago. I saw them in Michaels and decided to look it up before getting.
They are very colorful, fun to hold and squish, and also very toxic!

@KingstonsMom Here's how to report an unsafe product to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. They do the investigation. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwi5mvzuy5DzAhVHlGoFHemqAygQ...

Seriously?
Advertising photos are always enlarged to show products in detail, like I said, do some research and see how many children have had life altering consequences from swallowing these.
They don't choke on them, they actually swallow them, where they get lodged in their intestinal system.
