If at first *you* thought the sample was of milk powder, what is to say a tired or illiterate or non English speaking parent couldn't easily make the same mistake?
I have heard of an non English speaking/reading Asian grandmother attempting to make up a bottle from a sample of washing powder here in England.
Thankfully it was never offered to the baby, but .......... :-(((
That was a near missed catastrophy.

> I often spot check the gift bags that
are given out in our hospital and if I find anything too offensive, I
demand that it be removed, and it usually is. This week, I found a
package which I thought was milk powder, but it was laundry powder
instead. I hope some very tired mother does not make a mistake and
think that it is artificial milk.>
