So should we stop selling anything that could potentially be ingested that could be harmful? Where is the line?

The line is at ‘creating a product for sale with a high risk of illness or fatality if used normally.’ That is a perfectly reasonable line. We’ve had regulations for many years and they worked. Now we probably will not have them but we should make it inconvenient and difficult to deter that result.

Sounds like a good reason to sue gun retailers

There WAS but the politics prevented it.

It was from a “natural” grocery store. What are they selling it for if not for human consumption? This isn’t an animal feed store. Both the store & the dairy knew EXACTLY what they were doing. If they lose their businesses, they won’t be selling dangerous milk anymore, so good.

So sue the store and the dairy because they sell something harmful and claim it is healthful. There is evidence of the harm—someone was harmed by using this product as it is normally used. The lawsuit brings out information about this process so it is good if we don’t want people to do that.

yes.

Just because something is sold, doesn’t mean she had to buy it. The product was labeled. Does she not read labels on products - at the very least to see a sell by date? She had to have seen the label, or she’s flat out neglectful. Her fault, not theirs.

I believe in government regulations to protect the public. If there are no effective government regulations, then we will depend on lawsuits to protect the public. I have no yen for extreme punitive consequences for individuals. I think we’re all better off in a less brutal, and safer society.

Are you not paying attention to what this administration is doing? Have you not heard what RFK Jr is promoting? Trump and his band of idiots are rolling back any and all protections and regulations. Pay attention.

Then we will have to use lawsuits, which are our next line of defense.

You must be a lawyer. Or you’re just missing the point. The dairy is not responsible for her bad choices. They labeled the product. She was negligent and gave it to her kid. She did that.

I’m not a lawyer. Why and how did we get regulations? People demanded them— but it took time, education,, and people had to become aware of the consequences. We live in society so focus on individuals is a red herring. Safety for the public is being dismantled. We have to use the tools at hand.

The dairy and the store knowingly sold a dangerous and defective product. Why do you think they shouldn't bear full responsibility for that decision?
