Neocubes and buckyballs have been banned in several places, including Australia, and New Zealand. The CPSP has issued complaints and finally got theneocube.com’s Buckyballs (Neocubes) to stop production. Currently, Canada also highly advises to stop using them as they are dangerous, and safely dispose them if you own any. The sales have been strongly dis-advised as well, and some say it is even banned!

What about the Official Neocube Website?

www.theneocube.com has also stopped selling the neocubes, and have warned people to stop using them, even if “used safely”. The neocubes have been banned for “safety of children and teens”.

What’s so bad about Neocubes?

The neocubes have been banned mainly because if you swallow two or more balls, due to the high magnet power, they would attract each other, and may make holes in your stomach or lungs. You are probably saying ‘how likely will that happen’, right? Well, according to official announcements, there have been over 20 surgery cases, and one death. The result of the emergency room visits is an estimated total of 2,900 cases. Though not all of these visits have been recorded to be proven correct.

Well,what do I do with mine?

If you happen to have a neocube, or a few buckyballs hangin’ around, you should safely dispose them. Sadly theneocube.com does not accept refunds or returns. They state: “We apologize for the inconvenience but Strong Force is no longer in business and cannot offer refunds for its previously sold NeoCube products.”

I swallowed some what do I do?

If you have swallowed some neocubes, or even one, you should seek medical attention immediately!

P.S. Even if in the place you live, neocubes are not banned, please consider the cases, and please consider the neocubes banned! This is for the safety of everyone. Also if you are wondering how the teens swallowed these neocubes or buckyballs they pretended to use them as tongue piercing.
