Probably a legal way of keeping their asses safe.

yea but i dont see how kids could get injured/ill off protein powder, unless they were to eat the entire 5 pound jug which is not too likely

You know how people are, if some kid(age 4) accidently thought it was chocolate milk and drank and something happened to their kidney or what have you, the parents would blame it all on the company.

Kinda similar to how ignorant people are to ephedrine.

I think it is just a way to cover their ass.

Actually ya'll have it. The powder is so fine that it is a choking hazard with kids. I asked my doctor because my daughter loves to take a sip of my protein shakes when I make them. She's only 1 1/2 and I wasn't sure if it would hurt her. The doc said that it the whey protein powders really won't hurt but that with really young kids their digestive track is real sensitive and too much could mess her up like, constipation or just make her sick "tummy aches" etc. So yes don't let your children play around with it just incase.
