I simply corrected your false statement

No, you moved the goalposts. Marijuana itself kills nobody. What people do when they're impaired is another subject. Thus, when I bring up something else that impairs people, I didn't change the subject, you did.

Returning to the original topic, the injuries caused by this toy require somebody to do something irresponsible and contrary to copious warnings. Because of this stupidity, someone is trying to regulate the original product. It's the same thing for other things that can be used irresponsibly. Where do we draw the line?

“Marijuana itself kills nobody.”

“You can’t overdose on weed” is a fair statement, as is, “you can’t overdose on LSD”, but it cannot be seperated from the impaired decision-making that then follows. That’s sort of like argueing that in the entire history of guns, nobody has ever been killed by one because it is the BULLET that actually kills you. Both are interrelated.
