The gutless cowards of the Consumer Product Safety Commission

In an unprecedented move by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), 1.5 MILLION strollers are being recalled by the company Graco, due to 5 fingertip amputations. This happened as the children caught their fingertips while the stroller was being folded up. Why children would be seated in the chair while it is being folded is beside me, but the simple math boggles me as to why the CPSC would do this. Lest you think I am heartless and dont care about the children, lets put everything in perspective:

Any child who sits in this chair has a 1 in 300,000 chance of losing a fingertip.

That SAME child is:

3000x more likely to DIE by motor vehicle accident
900x more likely to DIE by gun assault (only in the US though)
60x more likely to DIE by electrocution
33x more likely to DIE by drowning
5x more likely to DIE by tornado
3x more likely to DIE by snake/bee/venomous bite
2x more likely to DIE by dog attack
Equal odds of dying by falling asteroid.

What should you be worried about more?
