In 2009 Buckyballs, a desk toy comprised of tiny, powerful magnets, started flying off the shelves and into the shopping baskets of fidgety-handed customers. Serial entrepreneur Craig Zucker, the product's creator, saw it reach $10 million in sales that year. By 2009 Maxfield & Oberton, the company Zucker co-founded, had grown its distribution network to 5,000 stores. Two years later, the mini-magnets were still gaining market share, and People named them one of the five hottest trends of 2011.
This was a rare instance that caused me to stop what I was doing that day about a few years ago when I heard about this, and absolutely blister the first person I reached at the CPSC.

Just like ephedrine.......tens of millions of people used it with no problem. A couple of hundred died due to blatant misuse.....Fedgov tried to ban it.
