Yup.  When moms go to the drugstore they are flustered and tired.  But when
bf advocates go for them, or when we see bad products on the shelf, we need
to make noise about it.

On one pleasantly memorable occasion, when a store clerk tried to tell me
that it wasn't his problem if they sold bad goods and that once they were
open they wouldn't be taken back, etc., I suggested that he and I call the US
Consumer Products Safety Commission (you remember, the bad guys in the
co-sleeping study!  but they do some good stuff too) right now, together,
from his telephone, and find out what sanctions they would impose on his
store for knowingly selling unsafe goods.

You bet that pump came off his shelf two times quick.   "Flustered," indeed.
