Sedate Your Kids While They Play

If your child won't sit still at the dentist, the doctor, or the kitchen table, you need the PediSedate Helmet. The device consisting of a colorful headset that connects to a game component or a portable CD player. After a snorkel attachment goes into the child's mouth, the helmet will monitor respiratory function and distribute nitrous oxide or anesthetic gas. The company website states, "The child comfortably becomes sedated while playing with a Nintendo Game Boy system or listening to music. This dramatically improves the hospital or dental experience for the child, parents and healthcare providers."

Do they still exist?

The website for the company looks old. All their press room links are from 2002. Did this product ever make it into production or was the idea abandoned?

And yes, the headline is horribly misleading. This is a medical device for children undergoing surgery, not a home device for controlling your kids.
