Search for perfect baby bib
By
SARAH SANDS
McDonalds and the Plunket Society are looking for the perfect baby bib. On the advice of the Plunket Society, the McDonalds fast food chain recently withdrew the plastic bibs it had been giving to young children who ate in its restaurant.
The society’s child safety officer, Ms Nicola Taylor, said the bib was made of thin plastic film and could easily suffocate a baby if it got ngar the
mouth and nose. McDonalds’ national marketing manager, Mr Russell Wilson, said that although such an accident was unlikely in a restaurant “we acknowledge that the bib is an attractive item which might be taken home and left with an unattended baby. We were happy to withdraw the bibs in the interests of child safety.” A thick paper towel, clipped on like those used in a dentist’s surgery, might the the answer, Mr Wilson said.
