The incident highlights a growing concern among South African parents about the increasing costs of raising children. With baby formula prices ranging from R250 to R600 per tin, incidents like these can significantly impact household budgets. According to recent statistics, raising a child in South Africa costs approximately R90,000 per year, amounting to a staggering R1.62 million by the age of 18, excluding tertiary education.

Viewers emphasize the importance of keeping essential items like formula out of children's reach, not just for safety but also to prevent wastage. Many pointed out that basic items like formula, which can cost up to R600 per tin, need to be stored properly.

With the current economic climate, many parents are finding it increasingly challenging to afford these necessities, making such accidents particularly difficult for families.
