Personally, I don't think the government needs to be our nanny. But I at least understand the motivation of trying to keep things like these away from 2-3 year old because they like, yanno, eat them and it causes problems (even though there's only 2 documented cases).
The recall is this: Between March 2009 through March 2010, buckballs were sold labeled 13+. The federal law requires powerful magnets to be 14+. This was corrected in March 2010 when the magnets were labeled "keep away from all children".
So this recall protects all of those THIRTEEN year old children out there who might accidentally eat a buckyball because they didn't read the packaging. I'm sure that's, like, super common. Must. happen. a. lot.
