Um...how about the parents keep the pods away from the children?
I grew up in the 70s and 80s and I should have kicked the bucket years ago.
How did we survive?
You just can’t fix stupid.
But that won’t stop them from requiring childproof lids/containers for detergent pods to protect children from their parents’ stupidity...
Ya know, while they’re at it, why don’t they require front yard fences with gates for every household with a child.
Can’t rely on a parent to contain their child in the house or the yard away from danger, now can we?

Years back, there were reports of people using Joy dish detergent in their tea - it had a picture of a lemon on the label.
I was in Wal-Mart maybe a month ago and they had some detergent on clearance, marked down to $6. I got two bottles.
It was not in pods but little BBs. Whatever, it is good stuff at least as good as Tide, probably better.
Make them look like individual dog turds.
In the past AMERICANS were capable of measuring quantities. But now most Americans have sent their kids to PUBLIC SCHOOLS (well, most), so yes, there will be a HUGE PROBLEM if today’s kids were required to measure a cup of detergent.
Procter & Gamble responded to concerns about the safety of the pod packaging by switching to a double-latch lid intended to make it more difficult for a very young child to open

10:1 the “safety” change making the box hard to open has lead to the parents leaving the box open all the time...
“...reported poisonings jumped from 6,343 to 11,714. “
Nearly a 100% jump in stupidity in one year of the Era of O.
