i'm in a New York state of mind.

Officials and attorneys, maybe with an axe to grind, making a show out of something they are responsible for and blaming the manufacturer for. If the product was faulty (poisonous or dangerous) then the manufacturer could be held liable. But a manufacturer should not (necessarily) be held accountable for what a customer does with the product after purchase. If they were, every gun maker and ammo manufacturer would be liable for murder.
As stated earlier in this thread, produce better trash receptacles and empty them before they overflow. Sounds like city sanitation problem to me. Make fines for littering much stiffer.
