Sig recall, or is this a joke?

[blume357]

I had to go over the farsebook this morning to see a pictured my buddy the retired Marine posted (he post one every morning). and some how this popped up. I'm not sure if it is real or not but if it is then has to be one of the stupidest recalls our government ever instigated.... the CR2032 battery for the red dot is not in a child proof case in the box with the red dot?

Probably not a joke. Have you seen the child proof packaging for the button batteries? Holy Moly, they have made it very, very hard to get the batteries out of the plastic.

 

[pisgah]

Dang, I wished I knowed that afore eatin' that battery...

 

[turd]

Yes, it is likely real. Ever try to get your hearing aid batteries out of the new packaging?

I don't have batteries in my hearing aid.

One of the pills I have to take comes in that plastic wrap. I have to fight the packaging every morning. I use a pair of scissors to get the damn pill out.

It's real

Things are getting ridiculous.

Packages of peanuts have the warning "Contains Peanuts" on them.

We had that recall of butter because it was missing the "contains milk" warning.

Never ceased to be amazed at some rules.

1000 year old Pink Himalayan salt is required to have an expiation date on the container. Usually about 2 years from purchase date.

I keep my firearms away from small children as a general safety factor. I find it hard to expect they will take a battery out of an optic to eat it.

Some recalls make sense but most are very obscure, we had a recall on some E85 gas caps because of a nomenclature issue, I figured the E85 branding was incorrect but when we go the recall it told us that the old caps said "Click to Tighten" and should be replaced with the new caps that say "Tighten to Click"...the government creates recalls, the companies do whatever they're told and ultimately it costs the consumer money.

Guess I am screwed whenever my pacemaker battery runs out of juice.

And honey comes with expiration dates too.

I have the “hands free” tactical version.

 

[Sam Summey]

There is a ROMEO recall for the battery compartment cap. The recall cap is knurled the replacement isn't it takes a coin to open or close.

I recently noticed that my spray bottle of "kitchen counter cleaner" had expired three years ago. I guess that my counters aren't clean.

I found this about salt "expiry dates" https://www.mortonsalt.com/article/morton-salt-expiration-guide/

Sux for the Marines. Going to get a Navy Corpman to open theirs?

Since I don't read very well, I've had a life-long habit of not reading anything unless I REALLY HAD TO. I've certainly not noticed any "warnings" (or recalls for that matter). Been 80+ years and "So far, so good".
If my luck runs out, I figure that I beat the odds..!!!

You do not need to eat it to have an allergic reaction. Inhaling the dust is enough so If I had a peanut allergy and liked to feed birds I would want to know.

I don't think he is trying to disparage your humor, but I hope you don't make your living at comedy. Watching someone pop an epi pen and still struggle for breath after emptying a trash can that had peanut hulls puts that whole ha-ha-ha in a different light. There is room for common sense and common courtesy in this world.

 

[sceva]

Some people just can't joke about anything...why does something this stupid have to be serious? Is there no common sense left anywhere?

I was not attempting to disparage you. My daughter carries an epi pen. I was only trying to point out that while it seems stupid, like posting a "contains peanuts" on a jar of nuts there is a good reason for the warnings.

 

[Mike J]

It is probably real. In all honesty it probably has more to do with the grown ups than the kids. There is a woman I work with sometimes that I keep in contact with on occasion. She recently told me that her toddler granddaughter had swallowed one of the lithium button cell batteries. It has been about a year and a half. The child is still alive but has more medical problems than I can remember. I'm not sure what happened, I think someone had left it laying around. A careless moment can have dire consequences. I'm not saying an optic should be recalled because of this but people should be careful to protect their children. Toddlers have to be watched very closely.

The reason is that the American consumer is too stupid to know that ajar of peanuts contains peanuts.

 

[Yaworski]

Years ago "Reader's Digest" had an article about stupid product warnings. The one that has stuck with me for decades is one from a "Swedish chainsaw" (likely Husqvarna): Do not attempt to stop chain with hands or genitals.

Maytag has washers called "Pet Pro" that have special filters to trap pet hair. The manual has a line that says, "Pet pro modifier is intended for removing pet hair from clothes. Do not put pets into the washer."

When I sold tools I had a customer ask me about removing the retractable blade guard. When I asked why he said, "So I can grab the blade to stop it." He wasn't joking.

 

[Yaworski]

The child is still alive but has more medical problems than I can remember..

Caused by the battery?

 

[Mike J]

Caused by the battery?

Yes. The child swallowed the battery. That is what caused the problems.

OMG...that means trash cans need a warning "May contain nut, milk, etc residue"

Why Are Peanut Allergies on the Rise?​

No trash cans don't need warning labels.

It does mean I don't eat peanuts at my desk and put the hulls in the trash. The custodian is a personal friend that I wasn't aware had a peanut allergy. I wouldn't cause her harm for any reason. It is OK to look out for folks yeah? Having an allergy doesn't make you an idiot, a cry-baby, a millenial, a whiner, a liberal or well you fill in the blank with whomever you like to pass judgement on. Having an allergy just means that things other folks take for granted can take your life, so I think it is good to watch out for those folks as best we can.

I carry antacids for this reason, right next to my backup 33 round mag for my G26 cause it only has 10 rounds. A guy can't be to careful if he expects to get out of this world alive.
