What products do you have problems with: opening, closing, pouring, using, etc???

Packaged Food Accessability

A great deal of packaging that hes been created over the past 15 years has had safety seals or other features added that make the product dificult to open. This is particularly true for seniors, who may lack hand strength or dexterity.
I believe that in many cases the seals could be modified to make them easier to open without affecting the safety feature.
I hope to do some consumer research to measure the extent of the problem. publish the results then see if some of the companies can be persuaded to make the modifications.
I would welcome feedback, ideas, data, anecdotes, re this issue
