Let me ask you a question. Do you have kids yourself?
I don't think you should sue anyone, nor do I think its the governments job to ban a candy just because it's possible in some scenario to cause a mouth sore.
I'm sorry you have a problem with people who don't think its the business of the government to keep everyone safe from any possible source of harm. I suppose you want pencils to be illegal as well, since it's possible to stab yourself or someone else with one. Children can't be trusted after all, their brains aren't fully developed as you said. So should pencils be illegal?
As Warheads themselves mention on the packaging:
Quote:
CAUTION: Eating multiple pieces at the same time or within a short time of each other may cause an irritation to sensitive tongues and mouth. This may vary from a slight irritation to a severe reaction depending on the individual.
It's not like your son wasn't warned.
If there was some looming, grave danger caused by just putting one in your mouth, they'd already have been banned. If I stuffed a dozen Twizzlers in my mouth and let them sit there for 5 hours I'm sure bad things could happen too, but is that my fault or whoever makes Twizzler?
I'm just trying to provide a reality check here...
