OMG...baby dies after eating detergent pod

[Deleted]

I wonder if it was actually from the detergent, or the baby choked.  Poor family.

That is soo awful. When I was at the grocery store yesterday, there was a large sign in front of the pods, stating they were dangerous around children.

Ugh. My kid is 5 and still puts everything in his mouth. I don't even want to open the article.

Actually, as far as not opening your posts go, I didn't have options. You put "BABY DIES" right in the title... So no, I didn't really have the option of avoiding that one.

Those laundry/dish washer pods are extremely dangerous. I'm pretty sure the dish washer ones are worse because the cleaner is more toxic. Those things look like candies to small children.

I won't buy them. Too easy to drop one by accident and have the cat get it or one of the kids.

I'm guessing you have to pop a xanax to get through the evening news?

I expect this on the evening news. 

I don't consider ML news. It's more recreation. And no, I don't need a Xanax to read it.

I rarely watch the evening news for that very reason. This place isn't the evening news and I don't come to expect stories like this here. 

For reference - since it seems like you're new. If people have something to share that may be sad for others, it's generally considered common courtesy to make the title something along this lines.

"Warning - sad story inside".... and then post the rest inside.

I'm not new.

Please go on with your list of rules. lol. It just keeps bumping this up for poor Tamb.
