1ºThen again, I was a toddler too at one point and knew better what went into my mouth and what didn’t. That’s why I’m alive now. Hell, I grew up in an era where childproof locks weren’t a thing either and had enough sense not to be digging in spots I had no business being in. These parents don’t watch their kids and let them get into everything nowadays. Plus as a toddler, I watched enough cartoons to know if something had skull and crossbones on it, not to put it in my mouth and at that age, I could read the word danger.

It's okay if your toddlers weren't smart enough to figure out a child safety lock. Where did YOU go to school?
Seriously, arguing that someone is an idiot (an ad hominem attack) is a terrible argument technique. I have parroted it back to you a couple of times, hoping you'd realize your original mistake, but you aren't taking the hint.
If you actually have some argument about why it's perfectly fine for toxic products to be designed to look like candy, then go for it. But arguing that only children of idiots (or idiot children) would put them in their mouths is neither helpful, kind, nor true.
3ºI think they came out before my son was born. He's going to be 7 now. Not once did I ever have to worry about him eating a tide pod. Why? It's called parenting. By the time he was 2 he would help me with the laundry by tossing one in the wash and say "soap". If a two year old can know the difference and know you don't eat soap then I honestly think you might need help. I put the tide pods up high where he could not reach them like every responsible parent. He found it fun to toss the pod in the wash. Same goes for the dirty clothes. Hey I figured teach them young maybe I won't have a teen that leaves dirty clothes everywhere and it will make it to the washer.
4ºKaren Jones No it's not because we were actually really smart as kids and we knew if we touched something we weren't supposed to, we'd get a but whipping. Plus, we actually had parents that watched us like a hawk-not like the fools nowadays. Plus, at that age too, I knew if something had Danger wrote on it or had skull and crossbones on it, not to put it in my mouth. At 2 or 3 too. I also knew how to somewhat read too-then again, I was really smart as a kid and got promoted 2-3 times in school. By the age of 4, I was already reading newspaper columns as well which is at a 6th or 7th grade reading level.
5ºMark Rozier like I said, parents should be responsible (I am not one btw). I don’t disagree. But that doesn’t mean products should be knowingly designed in a way that is excessively dangerous.
It’s not a child’s fault if they are born to bad parents. It’s not a child’s fault if their parents make a mistake.
It seems to me that you think that if the child dies or gets hurt, then the parents had it coming. How did the child deserve that? That’s a pretty messed up way of thinking- as if the safety and survival of a child is merely a reward for a parent and the death or injury of a child is merely a fair punishment for a bad parent.
6ºJohn Robert On Oct. 12, 2020, Fox News agreed to pay millions of dollars to the family of a murdered Democratic National Committee staff member, implicitly acknowledging what saner minds knew long ago: that the network had repeatedly hyped a false claim that the young staff member, Seth Rich, was involved in leaking D.N.C. emails during the 2016 presidential campaign. (Russian intelligence officers, in fact, had hacked and leaked the emails.) or this one Fox News has agreed to pay a $1 million fine for repeated violations of the New York City Human Rights Law following a three-year investigation into sexual harassment, discrimination and other misconduct that took place at the network. and then there is this Fox News agreed to a roughly $15 million settlement with a female former host who complained about gender-based pay disparities at the cable news network, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post. and finally for today "Fox settles discrimination lawsuits for roughly $10 million", 15 May 2018
