As consumers, would any of you genuinely be bothered if they made washing pods less colourful and less appealing for the sake of the minority of cases where this happens?
I’m not bothered if my washing pods look pretty. It seems like a no-brainer.

I’m sure anyone in a medical field would say the sort of things that happen when Dementia comes into play.
I suspect someone eating washing pods isn’t even close to the worst of it, such a horrible condition.

But after a post-mortem, the coroner was able to confirm that she was free from limescale.
So that’s a positive.

Do they not even have bitter tasting stuff on them?

Dementia is such a horrific thing. Literally your brain is dying whilst your body lives. Not sure it really matters what these look like, sweets are hardly as large as washing pods. I hope she’s now in a better place.

I mean how often does this happen? I mean if it’s happening all the time then sure change the design but if not items being pretty is an easy way to sell more units so it’s no surprise that companies choose to make their products pretty.Â
I’ll be honest I buy washing detergent based on smell not looks but I prefer to use pods or in the past tablets because then I can’t accidentally use to much or not enough product. People use way to much detergent and it fucks your clothes and washing machine.Â

This is so sad. I also saw recently an elderly gentleman with dementia died after pouring detergent on his cornflakes thinking it was milk.

This is very sad. I don’t have any family or friends with dementia but have been watching a man called John on YouTube who is caring for his wife who is in her early 60s and suffering from dementia. ‘dementia caregiving – John’s vlog’ is the channel name just checked. Really recommend it actually he seems like such a great guy – quite blown away by how kind and caring some people are.

You can’t keep with dementia 100% safe. They’ll have an accident eventually unless you were on them 24/7.
I’m not blaming the tablets, nobody should.
Why did she have tablets at home to begin with though?
