It has reached the point where no matter how low the probability or unlikely the event, the manufacturer is blamed. Never the parents or the child. Remember Jacks? Remember stepping on them? Now someone would sue.

While I agree with most of that, I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and managed to survive doing far worse things, it is well known that toys intended for small children should not have small parts that come off. The parents didn’t fail in supervising their child, at least in my opinion, they bought a toy from a well known manufacturer that was intended for small children and small parts that were supposed to be secure fell off.

Heck, I played with lead, mercury, solder and various glues that had really bad fumes that gave me headaches... I probably would have been better off with all the brain cells God intended for me...

"Low" probability?

Now tell us how you feel about the communists putting poison into pet and human food -- and then covering it up.

Point of curiosity: Do you happen to have any personal stake in "the China trade", i.e., as someone who owns or is employed by a company importing from China, or, associated with a "post-for-hire" service that represents clients with "China trade", or, as a stockholder in a company that derives significant revenue from "the China trade", etc?

Just curious, that's all. (Wouldn't be, if not for your obstinate defense of the Chinese killers.)
