No need to apologize! I was honestly wondering, I don't live in the states so I don't know what's advertised or not. If they were still selling the things it would be a real problem.

I think the problem is no one in North America knows how to read any more. Really read that bulletin.

There were 2 reported incidents one was a 20 month old that ate several dozen beads.

The beads are labled for ages 4+. Last I knew 20 months isn't even 2 years old. So of course its the products fault.

Remember don't use your toaster oven in the bath tub.

There are plenty of idiots in the world but there's no need for sweeping generalizations.

Well if I knew their individual names I could use them I'm not sure how you talk about society in general without making generalizations. It is a major problem in North America, the lack of personal responsibility, and the law suit mentality because they were too stupid to read the instructions. Unfortunately it does seem to be spreading to other places around the world.
