Plastic Packaging Injuries

While opening my new blue tooth headset today, I started wondering how many people had been injured opening these bulletproof plastic packages. I had to get wire cutters to open the packaging and almost sliced open my arm in the process. I looked it up and the Consumer Products Safety Commission reported that injuries from plastic packaging resulted in 6,400 emergency room visits in 2004 alone. I'm sure this has gone up from 2004. These people need to seriously consider getting rid of this ridiculous plastic packaging.
