We have all read lately about the involvement of the FDA with toys, and from reading this review, this could possibly an good candidate for them to look at.  When you look at the warnings, it is a bit scary.  As mentioned in the warning, it could destroy credit card information and more importantly have some potential interactions with medical devices.  If you swallow it, you could die too.  The warnings are just a bit

scary and it states "precautionary" but shouldn't someone perhaps go a bit beyond and check this one out?  Long term exposure to the skin is not known as it is a new product.  Overall after watching the video, I agree it looks pretty cool and something one could spend hours with, not only kids but adults, but is it safe?

The NeoCube is a compact series of balls, that is essentially a workable, 3-d puzzle with unlimited solutions. The website builds it up as a stress reliever, a creative outlet& hell, probably the modern answer to religion, I don't know. Besides the excessive self hype, its a pretty cool $40 trinket to get your kid. 

 

"SICK! A toy that you can give your 8+ year old that will erase all of your credit cards, eliminate your iPhone, stop their friend’s pacemaker and probably give them metal poisoning. And the product contains small balls."
