Do FFers know this risk?

Do most FFing parents know powdered infant formulas are not commercially sterile products? How much of a risk is a E. sakazakii infection? Is it only a risk to premature and low-weight babies? According to the WHO article below, "infants under 2 months of age are at greatest risk."
According to the FDA, "a

****I'm not saying it would be *easy* but if it actually kept the child quiet and *not* running around the salon and the child was the type to stay still under the smock, what is the harm really?****
Any movement whatsoever is the harm, with my razor sharp shears pointed at your head and near your face. Not to mention the hair, causing slivers. Short peices of hair DO NOT bend and sliver right into your skin.
While we do not like children running around a salon because salons are not 'child friendly' with hot
Walking was brought up earlier.
Smocks don't prevent EVERYTHING, you still get hair slivers and do you want your baby inhaling the fumes of noxious chems? I sure as heck wouldn't! Why would you?? Just to prove something?
It has nothing to do with proving anything.

***But I don't understand the attitude of turfing the one customer for the sake of the others, or being rude to one so the others aren't delayed.
This makes ABSOLUTELY no sense whatsoever. Kids will get teased for wearing glasses, having braces, having freckles, wearing clothes that the "in crowd" doesn't feel are "cool", the way they walk, talk, their name or last name...
Would you suggest that kids should attempt to conform to "the masses" in every way they can in order to avoid being teased and bullied? That kids with a need for glasses not wear them (beneficial to their eyes) just b/c they will be teased? That kids who need braces (beneficial to their teeth) not get them for fear of being bullied? That kids whose last name is something like "Dickson" or "Cummings" change their last name so as not to get teased about it? That kids who have freckles wear foundation make-up to cover them, that kids who prefer clothes *they* find comfortable over clothes that "are popular" should change to wearing clothes they don't like b/c they might get bullied and it might forever maim them and cause a negative outcome?
ALL of these things are comparable to the simple act of nursing past age 1 or age 3 or whenever you want b/c *nursing* is NOT harmful to the child per se and is very likely beneficial for their health in the same way eating an apple (good quality food) is beneficial to someone's health. In fact, it is more beneficial for someone's health to nurse than it is to wear clothes that don't jive with what the rest of society wears...and yet I think most of us would stand up for anyone's rights to wear clothes that are not in style if they should so choose to and few people would insist their child not wear something (decent, that covers them) to school if that is what they want when everyone else is wearing something that society temporarily perceives as "cooler".
And if your child needs glasses and *wants* the cat-eye type even though no one else is wearing them and *they* are happy wearing them even if they get teased mercilessly about them, why would you stop them? It is simply an occasion to show kids that it DOES.NOT.MATTER. what others think; you are welcome to be your own person and stand up for what *you* feel is important for YOU.
