The US company intends to appoint a third-party collections agency to obtain and return the 85 to 100 paid by consumers to get one of the machines, if that target is missed. Indiegogo told the BBC on Friday that it had set an end-of-May deadline. The Sinclair ZX Vega+ handheld was originally scheduled for delivery in September 2016, but has been repeatedly delayed. The team behind a controversial video games console has given a fresh delivery date pledge after the crowdfunding platform it used threatened to recoup backers' funds.

That's compared to the 16 kids under the age of 6 who died from exposure to batteries between 20, according to the National Poison Control Center. From 2012 to 2017, only two children died from consuming liquid detergent packs. Yet the actual number of fatal poisonings resulting from children consuming these items is quite small. The fear expressed by proponents of a Tide Pod ban is that the product looks and smells dangerously like candy, thus leading children to consume them. "By clearly marking individual packages with a warning message, I hope teenagers will rethink their self-harming behavior," said Shino Tanikawa, a member of Community Education Council District and clearly a master of how teens think.
"It's way past time to fix these products or remove them altogether from store shelves."Ĭonsumer safety activists also released statements of support for the bill. "As the parent of two young kids, I'm very concerned about the safety of liquid detergent packets," Hoylman said in a press release.
Also, there would need to be a warning label informing would-be Tide Pod champions that the product is dangerous to eat. Brad Hoylman (D/WFManhattan) and Assemblymember Aravella Simotas (D/WFQueens)would require all detergent packages sold in New York to be of a uniform color that is "unattractive to children." The product would also have to come wrapped in child biteresistant packaging. Yet a pair of New York legislators introduced a bill yesterday to keep the colorful laundry aids from being sold in the state.
Not a single child died from consuming a liquid detergent package last year, and the number of child exposure incidents has been falling steadily since 2015. The Tide Pod Challenge has reached the next stage of the safety hysteria cycle, with lawmakers proposing legislation to fight an alleged menace.
