Babylicious strangles babies playing with machetes
I saw the movie “Carrie” in 1976 at a midnight showing. That caused me to read the book by Stephen King upon which the movie was based. That caused me to be a lifelong Stephen King fan.
The Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a recall today titled “Gerber recalls machetes due to laceration hazard.” I’m thinking, first, What are the Gerber babies doing with machetes? Second, Well of course little babies playing with machetes are subject to laceration hazards…. Der!
What made this recall notice even funnier is another recall issued at the same time: “Babylicious Recalls Cloth Crib Fringe Due to Strangulation Hazard.” I’m thinking, first, What company would name itself Babylicious? Second, I can’t get the visual out of my mind about Babylicious purposely creating a strangulation hazard for babies playing with machetes. I’m thinking maybe a new Stephen King book is in the works.

You made me laugh out loud.
Too funny.
What next? You certainly have a way with post titles! I love Steven King too.
Very funny. Don’t think we’ll go find out what the products really are, much better to remember those off the wall recall descriptions. THanks for sharing them.
That’s be a cool idea for a book…
OMG that’s funny. I, too, am a huge Stephen King fan. My fav book by him is “The Green Mile” my least was “It”. Which brings up the issue of things that are just unnatural. Clowns are scary, I don’t care who says they aren’t. There is something very unnatural about a full grown man putting on makeup to cover up his face and entertain small children!
Not only that but monster feet, monster ears, etc.? What parent would do that to a child? And that inspires my next post. Hope I can find the picture I’m thinking of.
LOL me too…..
The people who are buying these $349 Apocalypse Survival kits have a lot more to worry about than getting a laceration. They are scarier than anything King dreams up.
As is often the case in real life. Someone famous once said, “You can’t make this stuff up.”
Weird but so funny.
I was 12 or 12 when i saw the movie, was scared sh**less!
I like Stephen King as well… ah and I LOVE Zoey on the box!!!
