The culprit: single-dose detergent capsules that can have a candy-like appearance. In the past year, they were involved in roughly 10,000 cases of exposure involving young children...

Exposure to soap? So. I'm thinking the worst case scenario is a kid chewing on one and getting a mouth full of soap, which they are highly unlikely to consume, unless P&G made it taste like chocolate syrup.

Only a very stupid child would do it twice.

Also it is very common practice to add “bittering agents” (like “denatonium chloride”) to products that have historically had the most accidents, to limit the amount that might be ingested.

We do children more harm in the long run by creating unrealistic rubber rooms. Do accommodate the inabilities of infants and watch what you let them get near. But as soon as a toddler can know that a product should be treated with respect (I could toss laundry tablets into the washer without wanting to eat them) that toddler should be taught!

We are all in a spiritual war zone here and the war is intended to end up victorious if we don’t just chicken out and cower in a corner. Teaching bad from good is part of this. Elementary, our dear Watsons?

I was once forced to take a mouthful of soap to clean out my dirty mouth.

It didn’t kill me, or even make me sick.

And that's one that'll definitely grow up voting Dumbascrap and spawn even more D's, so you can't really say a little laundry soap in the gene pool is a drawback in his case.
