The AP (9/10) reports that US Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) "wants more protections for the colorful, tightly wrapped "pods" of gel laundry and dishwashing detergent that children may think is candy." Schumer has noted that "the increasingly popular single-use, gel packages of detergent can be toxic and have made thousands of children sick nationwide," and some were hospitalized. He has suggested that the detergent packages include "a child-protective lid and a warning label on the detergent." The AP adds that Schumer was releasing a letter to the Consumer Product Safety Commission on this matter
