May be something related to child resistant packaging. From the CPSC FAQ on the Poison Prevention Packaging ACT "For a package to be child-resistant, at least 85% of tested children must not be able to open the package during the first 5 minutes of the test".https://www.cpsc.gov/FAQ/PPPA

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists (in reference to why the Yosemite garbage cans are difficult to use)

The bad news is your home is gone and your child with it in the massive flameball. The good news is, while we can’t quite say your kid was gifted

I remember my wife asking our kid to open some "child-proof" packaging for her.

I believe it is indicating that the child lock is only 85% effective.

How the hell they arrived at that number we may never know, but I'll bet you it's buried on page 4,987,253 in clause 6, subsection 8 of European Union Product Safety Report 156.421a. Or something.

He's lucky he didn't get the electric chair for what he did.
