Not Making Fun Of This, But There Has To Be A Punchline Somewhere

from the Vancouver Sun,

Infant pacifiers bearing the logos of the Vancouver Canucks and some other NHL teams have been recalled by Health Canada for posing a danger to children, the federal agency said Monday.

Testing by Health Canada has revealed that the pacifier button, ring handle and shield with nipple can detach, posing a choking hazard to children, Health Canada said in a press release….

lso under the recall are pacifiers featuring the logos of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames, Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings, Health Canada said.

Well, if we’re talking choking, then there had to be one product with the Sharks logo on it.

And I’m not going anywhere near the “choking on a nipple” part. That’s just too easy.  cheese

Wow.  They actually believe Detroit is part of Canada since all of the items being recalled are Canadian hockey teams?

Since when?

The Anaheim Ducks pacifier (not that anyone would buy that in Canada) would actually fall out and somehow find a way to clunk the baby over the back of the head.  The OC Register has already claimed that these pacifiers are just misunderstood and blames the infants for just being crybabies without actually getting to know the pacifier.

More than one punchline, actually.  LOL

At least it sounds like no babies have choked yet - just a preventive recall, so that’s good news that no child has been hurt.

Do the Red Wing pacifiers have a number 33 on them?

Somebody needs to collect all of the Ottawa Senators pacifiers for the upcoming ‘Dany Heatley night’ promotion.

I actually have a Flames pacifier for my little guy!  Luckily he hasn’t used.  Thanks for the heads up Paul!
