The assistant coroner, Ian Potter, noted the glaring resemblance of laundry capsule packaging to sweet bags, emphasizing the dangers these products pose to vulnerable individuals.
The coroner warned the product safety regulations do not sufficiently account for the risks to dementia patients, who may misidentify bright-colored products as food.
Potter highlighted that while product safety regulations address the risks to children, they fail to provide adequate consideration regarding individuals with cognitive impairments.
The coroner ultimately issued a warning not only to the manufacturer of the pods but to broader entities, indicating an industry-wide issue that requires attention.
