I wonder how many people die from unattended & loaded firearms left around the home.

Methinks the priorities are likely confused.

CPSC has received reports of toddlers finding loose magnets left within reach and placing them in their mouths. It can be extremely difficult for a parent to tell if any of the tiny magnets are missing from a set. In some of the reported incidents, toddlers have accessed loose magnets left on a refrigerator and other parts of the home.

Use of the product by tweens and teenagers to mimic piercings of the tongue, lip or cheek has resulted in incidents where the product is unintentionally inhaled and swallowed. These ingestion incidents occur when children receive it as a gift or gain access to the product in their homes or from friends.”

Not sure what I think of the ban though. Are the numbers worse than what we have for dangers of plastic bags, small items in models, game pieces and other things that cause problems and haven’t been banned? I think as long as they’re consistent in what they’re banning, or show they’re much more problematic…..hmm….still debating the issue with myself so I’ll STFU for now. Mind you, because of they way they unnecessarily politicized it, I’m having a more gut-leaning reaction to banning (and not buying anything from them at all).

Re: silver candies on cakes. Ban those. No question. Who thought those were a good idea? Under-employed dentists? 🙂
