The laundry detergent industry has taken steps to curb accidental poisonings from the pods, which are designed to dissolve in water. As a result, they burst as soon as children put them in their mouths.
The original theory was that children were attracted to the pods because they’re colorful and squishy like candy. This prompted manufacturers like Procter and Gamble to make the packaging more opaque, yet statistics show this hasn’t helped much.

Kids are too young to read the warning labels!
Is it that hard to keep them out of reach like you would other household chemicals?
How far will we go to make our lives "easier"?
Is it so hard to fill a cap with liquid? What do you save 5 seconds of your life? This stuff is a gimmick at best.
Keep them out of reach of kids, good lord . im sure you keep alcohol out of reach, keep poisons out of reach. FFS!!!!! Be a responsible parent and quit blaming companies .
dont raise stupid kids?
Why is the pods being left in their reach and where is supervision when this is happening. Why is it manufacture problem, this should be parents responsibility.
It's up to the parents to keep them somewhere their children can't get to them. High up on a shelf or in a cabinet maybe? It's not the manufacturer's job to prevent the kids from eating them, it's the parents-DUH!
Ever wonder how many of those accidental poisonings are really accidental?
2:26 I agree. We still wash our clothes down on the rocks by the creek.
Anything that is the neglect of the parent now is always someone else's fault. Maybe if the parent put things out of a child reach there would be no problem. I mean do the parent also let their kids drink detergent?! Be a responsible parent
Just call it a culling.Anyone with any sense at all won't need a further explanation.
Maybe if they had a law that said candy couldn't be squishy and colorful...
Ha ha good one!
While raising our kids, we never brought those candy- looking things into the house! There were too many other perfectly good detergents out there to put that risk on our kids.
As a result, we all had clean clothes and nobody got poisoned.
I know it's a difficult concept, but just try it anyway.

But but but. They look so cool and they are so much easier to use. It is hard work measuring out the correct amount of detergent! Not to mention the fabric softener.
