Jesus, is there something still not banned in the USA? Except from guns, I mean.

Just for clarity: what exactly "banned" means here? Is it illegal to produce them? To sell them on the territory of USA? To buy them? Is it ok for me as a USA citizen order them, say, from China? Would I be arrested if I was seen playing with a set of buckyballs in the Central Park?

The article mentions the problem that the product was labeled ‘Ages 13+’ which contradicts some guidelines that obligate to label such products as ‘Ages 14+’. Does that mean that Buckyballs can be simply relabeled with appropriate caption and continue to be selled?

What it actually means to "ban" something at all?
