An Inclusive Litany

3/22/93

In Highland Park, Illinois, Debbie Lerman took her 6-year-old daughter, Robyn, to the dentist to have a couple of teeth removed. But when the dentist finished extracting the teeth, he refused to give them to the girl, who wanted to leave them under her pillow for the tooth fairy. OSHA rules require him to immediately place the teeth in a closed container and dispose of them.
