According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, the new highly-concentrated, single-load liquid laundry detergent packets sometimes cause children to experience excessive vomiting and difficulty breathing when ingested.
Liquid laundry detergent packets, often known as “pods,” first hit the market in 2012. They’re convenient to use and extremely popular — but they also carry hidden dangers.
Between January and July there were 7,184 incidents reported to the A.A.P.C.C. involving kids younger than six years old. That number is on track to exceed the total number of incidents reported in all of 2014 (11,714). This has prompted consumer advocacy groups to ask for stronger warnings on laundry pods.

Idiots abound. I hope the PD has his name and address. He may become a frequent guest soon!
ReplyDeleteJust quit making them look like candy! It's pretty simple, but idiot women buy "pretty colors", so I guess we keep killing kids...
ReplyDeleteCan we feed some to Obama?
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why anyone would leave them low enough for a child to reach to start with. What is wrong with thinking just a little bit and keeping "pretty colored things" out of a child's reach when you know darn good and well where it's going to go first if they get a hold of it - right to the mouth. How hard is this to figure out???? Idiots do abound.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand what the big deal is just keep it out of their reach. Its not that hard.
ReplyDeleteThis is just ridiculous..just like almost every other product,you CANNOT leave this where youngsters can get ahold of them....Common Sense is the best prevention.Anyone stupid enough to leave these bubble packs where their little ones can get them shouldn't breed.Common sense!!!
