could not agree with you more on everything you said. the seats were the bumbos. i know some people don’t like them in general, but to be recalled because people were putting them up on tables is just idiotic. i don’t know what planet some parents are living on these days.

Totally agree with you! When I first heard this story, I was definitely confused as to why those items were within reach of children…just like any cleaning supplies/toxic materials in the home, they ALL need to be put away as part of the baby-proofing of the house. I felt the same way when the story about those baby seats hit a couple weeks ago (the name of the product fails me, but the ones that are obviously meant to stay on the floor and the baby sits in it with there legs sticking out). Anyway, the point is, keep your eyes on your kids as you are supposed to…common sense seems to be failing some parents these days.

um, several questions here… why are they within reach of children in the first place? why are parents not watching their children, but instead letting them in places like the laundry room? yes, the bottles need to be harder to open and not made to look appealing to kids, but they need to be on high shelves or locked up, and parents need to be parents and actually watch their kids to avoid this stuff.
