We must protect the participation award generation. And it's Proctor and Gambles responsibility to make millennials stop eating laundry soap.
21st century is very disappointing.
Two New York lawmakers want Procter & Gamble, the maker of Tide Pods, to redesign the laundry detergent tablets to make them look less appetizing to children.
They also want legislation requiring stricter packaging standards for the laundry detergent in New York, including a requirement that packets are not “easily permeated by a child’s bite.”
Rep. Aravella Simotas (D-Queens) and Sen. Brad Hoylman (D-Manhattan) and consumer advocates are worried about the viral “Tide Pod Challenge,” the social media fad where people are biting into and even ingesting the tablets.
They sent a letter to P&G on Tuesday asking that packaging be redesigned to include clear warning labels, child-resistant wrappers and to make the pods look less tasty, according to The New York Daily News.
The plump little pods are tri-colored with swirls of white, orange and purple. The lawmakers want them to be more uniform in color.
Toxic substances should not be packaged to look like candy or toys which could lure children to eat them, said Simotas.
