This is dangerous thinking. Who here has thought, "I should tell my 5 year old kid not to drink antifreeze tonight." Some people just don't think to say some things. These are the same people who think that leaving their kids in a locked car in the middle of a parking lot in the summer while they go shopping is a sound plan of action.
I agree with Rococo, it's a dangerous headline. Some stupid 6 year old who's parents don't even know what antifreeze is is probably searching the house for some right now to try out.
Edit:
As Jimmy4 and wonderwench said, if you are stupid enough to drink car fluids, then cheers to you, and bottoms up to the bar. Filtering the gene pool is a good thing.
Edit part duex:
did anybody read the article?

"As many concerned pet owners and parents are well aware, dogs, cats, and kids are prone to lap up puddles of antifreeze left on garage floors. Every year, 90,000 animals and 4,000 children ingest the toxic liquid"

kids lap up puddles of antifreeze.......4,000 ingest per year. Case closed.
