Two state lawmakers this week wrote to the CEO of Proctor & Gamble urging the company to repackage their Tide Pods product to be child resistant and have clear warning labels about ingesting the detergent.
“While our legislation would only protect New Yorkers, we urge Procter & Gamble and all manufacturers of colorful detergent pods to offer the same protections to the nation and immediately commit to the precautions set forth in our legislation,” wrote the lawmakers, Sen. Brad Hoylman and Assemblywoman Aravella Simotas.
“It’s time that you recognized the danger to those least able to protect themselves from a poisonous product packaged like candy. If not, these products should be removed from store shelves as soon as possible.”

Whaddya know....getting elected to public office makes you a Packaging Engineer too!
Because some stupid teens act stupid
We’re losing to THESE fools in the state houses across the country?
Actually, the trend is an internet “dare” among teens and young adults, who know better. I’m not aware very many children have been poisoned by the things....
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!
The people eating Tide Pods are teens and college-aged people, not EFFING CHILDREN!
Let the stupid and weak minded eat the damn Tide Pods! Hell, I say market the product to them (with full disclosure to the harmful effects), because these detergent eating knuckleheads won’t care about those warnings, anyway!
Best thing for America: a natural thinning of the ol’ gene pool!! We are talking, good old fashioned natural process of selection and survival of the fittest!
It’s not the little kids that are eating them!
Parents to attend evening classes at local city college for the proper storage of said pods.
Google who is eating these ...
pure attention-seeking stunt
people doing it for hits on Youtube
Lease able to protect themselves??? These are teenagers doing it on a dare!
They don’t need to “childproof their house”, most of those involved in this are teens and college-aged adults!
Until we learn how to IDIOT-PROOF a house, there is no solution to these acts!
Einstein said it best: “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.”
Big morons trying to stop little teenage morons from eating Tide pods.
Nanny State PING!
I’ll bet these numbnut lawmakers have never even done their laundry, let alone look at a bag of Tide pods.
It states very clearly DONT EAT THEM and have a childproof latch on them.
They are now packaged in “Child -proof” containers. They also have warnings printed on them.
Yes, just what we need a few more law suits?/s
I still believe, Olde Billy was right!
I prefer the urinal mints, you know, like in restaurants.
Daaaaamn, that, ‘splains it all now.
Ah - so that’s why Pelosi seems to always be foaming at the mouth!!
Make ‘em look like that thing Hillary coughed up.
If people who eat Tide Pods didn’t vote Democrat, they wouldn’t care.
Tells about all you need to know about politics in America.
All the warning labels i got were from my parents and theirs. Also neighbors that had my parents permission to correct any bad moves, I might do on their property.
