Childproof/Idiot Proof Packaging & Warnings

June 30, 2006

when she was 3.5, my grand daughter Zoey ate a sample piece of soap scented with

Monkey Farts. When asked why she ate the soap, she answered " It smelled to good

so I had to eat it "

Paula .......... in Michigan

I used to have super powers but my therapist took them away

I always warn my students that if something smells like food,

someone's child will eat it. I had a panicked call from a customer

who's child ate a lotion stick. I was surprised she would get past

the first bite, and the mother didn't really see it as something

that had to be kept out of the kids reach, because the child was old

enough to know it wasn't food. But when I think back, I remember

taking a taste of the minty scented paste we used in art class in

grade school. So you can never underestimate the curiosity of

children.
