The More You Know

I noticed this warning on a box of Electrasol dishwasher detergent tabs:

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
CAUTION: HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED.
EYE IRRITANT.

That makes sense. Cleaning products can be nasty, poisonous stuff. The box also has this:

NOTICE: PRODUCT MAY POSE A CHOKING HAZARD TO CHILDREN UNDER 3 YEARS OF AGE.

To summarize: This is a dangerous product if swallowed, but if your child absolutely has to chew on one of these tabs, make sure he’s old enough to not choke.

Bonus Factoid: Comet is relatively non-toxic stuff, in spite of the fact that its name rhymes nicely with “vomit.” Don’t ask why we had to look at the label for its toxicity.
