Closed petition Ban the sale of magnetic balls to children

The sale of magnetic balls to children should be banned. Due to a recent craze, children are at risk of swallowing these balls causing severe damage. Apart from the danger to life that these balls represent if swallowed, surgeons’ time and resources are taken up in the NHS to remove them.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
