Just kidding. But in all seriousness, this recall of blinds by the government is a bit over the top if you ask me.
The deaths of children are prompting the recall of some 50 million window blinds.
The recall involves two kinds of popular window coverings: Roman-style shades and roll-up blinds.
They are blamed for the deaths of eight children since 2001.. and the near strangulation of 16 others.
...
One whole death a year!
In other news, the government has also recalled or outlawed:
tacks, pennies, crayons, lead pencils, dish soap, forks, outlets, paint, stoves, electrical wiring, hot water heaters, staircases, slippery wood floors, fireplaces, and pizza slicers.
Get my drift?
Bah-humbug.
