Re:  

On the Poland Spring bottles, there's a warning that the small cap is a CHOKING HAZARD to children.

So the cap that was 20% larger wasn't a choking hazard? Of course it was.

Actually, no, it wasn't, and the old bottles did not have a warning. The new bottles have a warning on them.

Any cap on those bottles is a choking hazard, even the ones before the new design. What is that thing that parents use for their young kids? if it fits down a paper towel tube, it is a choking hazard?

Anyways, the caps arent an issue for poland spring..it is the friggin new bottles that go along with it. They are so thin now to save plastic I think they should be classified as water bags instead.

Off topic, but Poland Springs two bottling plants up here are insane. We studied them quite a bit in college.

Yes it was still a choking hazard. You know why the warning is on that bottle now? Because stupid people who let their children put bottle caps in their mouths like to get sue happy. They are just attempting to limit their liability. Expect more companies to follow soon.
