Addressing parental concerns, Benedek added: "Don't be discouraged if your child has early brain dysfunction. It doesn't mean that he or she is going to grow up and be a criminal."

The company has known the stroller hinges could become finger guillotines since at least July 12, 2004, when 23-month-old Carlos DeWinter lost his right pinky... His mother, Jane DeWinter, was shopping for a Maclaren stroller at a Right Start shop, and she was testing the one-handed folding and unfolding mechanism.
As she was about to lock the stroller into the open position, Carlos put his finger on the hinge, and he suffered a "traumatic amputation," the court papers said. Despite two surgeries, the pinky could not be reattached. Maclaren and Right Start argued that the mother's "own negligence" was to blame. Maclaren settled with the DeWinters for an undisclosed sum. Jane DeWinter said she could not comment.
Robert Moro, an engineer and former compliance officer with the Consumer Products Safety Commission, testified in 2007 that "this stroller contains a substantial design defect when compared to other types of designs of strollers intended to be used by children."
The way the stroller was designed and manufactured in China violated federal guidelines intended to prevent a gruesome "scissoring effect," Moro said.
"Maclaren had a legal obligation to report this," Moro told The Post. "It's extremely unfortunate a lot of little kids had to get their fingers amputated."

With about half, it is something like: “Oh, my God, our doctor doesn’t have it! Can you get me a dose?” And with the other half, it is something like, “Oh, my God, that brand-new vaccine — do you really think it’s safe?”
Dr. Offit wondered if people were more comfortable with sins of omission than of commission. Rather than inject a foreign substance into your body, he went on, “you’ll take your chances with a natural virus infection, which may or may not kill you.”


It was a rainy gray morning, and Mr. James forgot to kiss Mrs. James good-bye when he left for the office. Mrs. James felt quite cross because of this... So when Jonathan James came down for breakfast, she was sharp with him. "Oh, for goodness' sake!" she said. "Why did you wear that shirt again today? It's filthy!"

He came home from school yesterday with the other bottom middle tooth at a jaunty angle to the others, like the feather in Robin Hood's cap. I would have just left it.
But our babysitter was quite focused on getting it out, and together, she and Connor decided she should tie a piece of thread around his tooth, and tie the other end to one of his Shake 'n Go Racers. Connor would shake the car, set it down, and it would race off with his tooth. I had my reservations about this plan but stayed out of it, because I wasn't pulling it out, that was for sure. In the end, the race car did not even have to be shaken for the tooth to be gone.
