So I was looking at the paper the other day when I saw, on the front page, a picture of a guy holding some red thing. Upon reading the caption, it said something to the effect of "He is suing the maker of this toy for not putting any choking warning on the label". I almost vomited. This man, I immeaditly decided, was a moron. I did not read any further into this article for fear of mental harm, and I feel I didn't need to anyway.
Ok, so basically, my point is this: If it's small enough to fit in your mouth, its a choking hazard. Thats a no brainer. People choke on food all the time, and therefore, all food MUST have a warning label, right? Please explain why this would make sense. As I look around my computer desk, I can count off possible choking hazards: quarters, a money clip, A battery, and enough cables to choke myself with 50 times over. Funny, I don't remember there being any warning labels on these products... maybe it has something to do with the fact that people realize that they are possible strangulation tools and dont need a warning label to tell them so.
So, Mr. Idiot man, why are you so pissed off? Why, because one company thought you were intellegent enough to realize that this toy of yours could become lodged in your throat, cutting off your breathing? Or maybe you just wanted your 15 minutes? Something tells me that that maybe what this is all about, but since I am uneducated about the details of this claim, I shall end here.
