do you seriously object to these pods? i found them to be a wonderful thing to get for my son who does his laundry at college. No muss, no fuss. storing and scooping laundry detergent is a hassle, i use these exclusively and find it ludicrous that any child would mistake it for candy. i had zero trouble keeping toxic substances from my kids when they were little, i don’t see why this is any different.

The full article is now behind a subscribe-wall for WSJ.

All I see from the excerpt is something that says 10,000 “exposure incidents.” Nothing about 14,000 which is what the nurse claims. OK, exposed... how? Some kid fingered one and got it on his skin? That sounds more plausible. And why aren’t parents stepping up to their responsibility? Why should we nanny nurse everyone into a sanitized Teflon lined room because parents won’t do what God told them to do? This is FREE Republic, not NANNY “for the chilrun” Republic. Let’s besiege PARENTS with messages to watch out for their kids and not try to defang every danger in the world!!

And... sigh... I really do think the Nurse means well.

But we have a practicality problem here. Suppose Nurse got her super safe detergent packets. 1 danger down, 10,000 more to go?

When addressing PARENTS would be far more efficient in helping the “chilrun”?

By almighty heaven, YES! Let’s advertise it to the liberals! WATCH OUT FOR YOUR KIDS! IT’S FOR THE CHILRUN!

Makes sense, no?

And before you laugh at “well that’s obvious”

The trouble with the liberal spell of evil from hell (hey that rhymes) is that it makes the obvious, no longer so. It discombobulates the mind.

The antidote is truth. Ya know, speak the truth in love?

Yep, we really need to tell those careless parents that it’s for the children. It might dawn on them that hey, here’s a great idea! And one conservative ideal has been championed with minimal pain.

The first pretty and colorful item I noticed a couple of years ago was dishwasher detergent. Saw it in a tv ad, and we wondered aloud how many children would get into cabinets under the sink and go for it. The Tide pods are pretty and colorful too. Just sayin'. Adults and children like bright and shiny objects.
