You are all really missing the point of this law. A button on the back of a dress, the ordinary zipper that you can buy to put in your skirt, and the skirt of your child, and many, many of the other things really pose ABSOULETLY NO HAZARD to any child. A Swars crystal is not going to hurt a child, maybe if they ate the whole package, and it wouldn't be lead poisoning. But because of the current bent of the gov, (meaning who is shouting the loudest, and putting the most $$$ in their pockets) everything that a child could come in contact with MUST BE DEADLY, AND WE MUST REGULATE IT AND PARENTS NEED US TO HELP THEM!!
Take a look at the recall of children'a products on the CPSC. The last one was for $1.50 darts from dollar store (of course cheap crap made in China) and the two children that somehow stangled on the darts (which were not sharp but blunt on the ends) were boys, 8 and 10. The only way that I could figure out how they stangled on them was if they shot them in to their mouths. Okay, 2 boys, obviously old enough that they should have known better died, but boys are little men, and we all can answer that thought. Not good by any means, BUT 1.8 million were sold, that is 1,799,998 kids did not stick them in their mouths and shoot them down their throats. But we are going to recall all of them, give refunds, sue the company, and serve them with fines. These kids could have fallen down the stairs and been killed, fallen out of the tree in their backyards, been allergic to the Caeser Salad dressing at dinner, and we wouldn't be cutting down trees, making only one story homes, and banning Salad dressing. This was not the fault of the cheap toy that the parents bought, but the fault of a split second decision of a kid to do a DUMB THING!!! All kids, and adults included do dumb things.
