Hi its my first time on MN.
I was checking my son's school bag and saw that the class photos had come (the preview they send to everyone). These are done by Lafayette photography and were sent with two a4 sized plastic bags (which would fit over a child's head), with no holes in, and marked SAFETY FIRST - TO AVOID DANGER OF SUFFOCATION PLEASE KEEP THIS AWAY FROM BABIES AND CHILDREN.
Now leaving aside the issue of sending unsolicited marketing, these must be given to thousands and thousands of 4 and 5 year olds in their bags. I just can't see how it is ethical to do this, in fact it strikes me as clearlydangerous, and I'm sure they do this at many, many schools.
Does anyone else get these photo bags? I wonder if we can get some kind of a mini campaign going to at least get them to change to a safer bag??
