Neither understood I, until I read carefully the copy on zenmagnets.com and found:

> Zen Magnets may cause fatal intestinal pinching if swallowed.

> Don't leave them around animals, or children who don't understand this.

> US Government Age recommendation is 14 years.

Then it dawned on me, and I thought that it's actually too mild a warning. What exactly children are expected to understand? that they shouldn't swallow those toys—of course they understand that, it's accidents that everyone's worried about. If I were the business owner, I'd prefer to err on the safe side: “Keep away from children”, “This is not your average swallowing hazard!”, and so on.
