Magnetic Toys

I made this scene in Blender as a combined material test, lighting test, and to work with stereograms. Then there has been a story in the news that a similar brand of magnetic toy has been recalled from the market, as a safety hazard for young kids.

Again, a similar product was recalled for safety concerns after at least one death. Swallowing a ball bearing is not much risk. Swallowing one tiny magnet if it gets loose is not bad. But two magnets or a magnet and a steel part together can do some serious damage internally. Neodymium magnets are TOUGH. Just keep them all away from your littler family members, please.
