I think the issue is that no parent can reasonably stop their kid from swallowing these if the kid wants to; do you disagree with that? Note that every McDonalds toy that is actually perfectly safe for young kids has a swallowing/choking hazard, so it's pretty much guaranteed that people can't know that they have to take those seriously in this case.
- freditup 14y agoI personally do - just keep them out of reach / away from a child until they are old enough to know better. I don't disagree that swallowing these could be awful, but everyone knows you don't give small children things they can swallow, these are no different.
- anigbrowl 14y agoThe packaging tells you very clearly (before you open it) what can happen if swallowed, and why. It also says that it's not suitable for children under 14. And I do disagree that you can keep small kids from swallowing: do not allow them to play with it. I'm infuriated by the idea that nobody can be allowed to buy these things because some parents are too stupid/irresponsible.
- ghaff 14y agoThere are any number of hazardous items around the home this could extend to. It's like saying that "No parent can reasonably stop their kid from swallowing drain cleaner if the kid wants to."
- mistercow 14y agoNo parent can reasonably stop their kid from drinking bleach or Drāno if the kid wants to. Should we ban those too?
