5.5 million window covers recalled after child deaths
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32561933/ns/...nd_garden/

My comments
1) Who lets their kids play tarzan on the window blinds?
2) If the parents installed them and they fall down, what fault is it of the manufacturer
3)

Quote:“Scissors were used to release two of these children,”

What if hte parents were running with scissors and fell and died..would the scissors be recalled also?

4) Why bother recall them..just have the idiot parents use scissors to cut the loop at the bottom so now there are 2 strings dangling rather than 1 loop.  :(  


Strangulation Death of a Child Prompts Hill Sportswear To Recall Hooded Sweatshirts with Drawstrings

Quote:... have drawstrings through the hood. The drawstrings should be removed immediately since they can become caught on objects and strangle a child.

My comment
1) double you tee eff...if a kid can't figure out how to wear a hoody, maybe they should be walking around with a helmet on as well.

These are not problems faced by manufacturers, but rather idiots who should not be part of society anyways.
