about these magnets. I have heard that these magnets are the rare earth magnets neodymium magnets. I bought some of these off e-bay and when they say bringing two of these things can really hurt you. they are not kidding. I bought a set of 20 disk shaped that were about the size of marble that has been flatened. and while playing with them i pinched my skin between two of them by acident and the two magnets drew blood where the two peices came together.

Could have been worse; you might have been run over by Thomas the Tank Engine! 
This stuff isn't funny. Lack of oversight of products made in countries over which we have little control is a serious problem.

Yeah...my two little nieces have about 3 or 4 of those stupid toys and Maura has registered some of those freezable teething thingys. They all come from China and now they are saying if they have water in them and they are from China, then they have water from China (and that is not good)! Ugh!!

You don't have to, because we all know what you are thinking 
There are many things wrong with our society, but relying on 3rd world areas (say areas, because it may not be a 3rd world country, but the areas where some of these things are produced may have 3rd world conditions) to produce things for our kids is dispicable!
