>> elizabeth. >> everybody, ease up, okay. george steinbrenner went on and paid $8 million for the team in 1973. now according to "the new york daily news," his son hal who doesn't always shared his fair's passion for the sport, is thinking about selling the team. and he thinks -- >> come on, guys. let's pony up. >> it'll only take $3 billion so pass the hat. elizabeth has a couple bucks. >> not that many. >> after facebook ipo, be a little careful. >> no kidding. >> okay, thanks, josh. we turn now to a big warning about a new laundry detergent that could be harmful to your kids. small compacts of -- see them there, highly concentrated soap, look like candy and just hit the market. but kids are already eating them and getting terribly sick. calls to the poison control center spiking. linsey davis with all the details. good morning. >> good morning, george. here they are. one of the moms we spoke to said they reminded her of gummi bears. now, they're certainly bright and colorful and there are instances across the country of kids trying to eat them and it's making them extremely sick. between the bright colors and bite-size packaging, many parents say it's easy to see why to kids these new packets of laundry detergent could look like candy. and the container they come in like a candy jar. that's exactly what 19-month-old isabella sutton thought when she bit into one wednesday morning. >> i could hear her saying, candy, candy and she has a 5-year-old brother so i just figured -- yeah, candy, candy. i figured they got into candy. >> reporter: minutes later she was vomiting and had diarrhea. >> throw the pod in. says her 2 1/2-year-old got a packet out of her laundry room. >> when i saw him he had the blue ink, whatever, all over his hands. >> reporter: they're advertised as an end to mess, spills and heavy jugs. but the american association of poison control centers is now reporting a surge in calls about these little single dose packets making children violently ill. and how is this different from kids who swallow regular laundry detergent? >> we really haven't with regularly laundry detergent seen the breathing problems and significant vomiting that we have seen with these pods. >> reporter: these single dose laundry detergent packets have only been on the market a few months, but the poison control center says it only started linking illness with the pods earlier this month. in the last 20 days poison control centers across the country have received nearly 180 calls, that's almost ten calls a day. >> say, hi. >> reporter: isabella's mom says she has safety locks on everything and that now includes these little laundry packets. >> they should, you know, change it where they're safer to be around families and children. >> reporter: tide is planning to do just that. late yesterday afternoon they told us that they are planning to have a new and improved childproof container with a double latch closure available in stores by late july. other manufactures we reached out to said detergent should always be kept out of the rich reach of children. especially important because some of them just come in ziploc bags or just flip it right open. >> i'm holding one here. it does feel like a gummy bear packet. rich besser is joining us. i was struck by the sound bite from the poison control expert saying the severity of these symptoms are really off the charts. why? is it because it's concentrated? >> that's what they're thinking. it's baffling the experts because normally detergent causes mild systems but nothing this severe. so they think it has to do with the concentration. >> normally when our kids eat something dangerous, we're taught to induce vomiting. you say that is a mistake in the case. >> you don't want do that. you want to try to get it out of their mouth, but you don't want to induce vomiting. because the children who have had the worst reaction is from vomiting and breathing it into their lungs. you want them to drink though. if you have liquids, that will dilute what is in their stomach. and that will be very helpful. if your child was having difficulty breathing call 911. if you call the poison control center, though, most of these can be actually managed at home with their help. >> at what point do you take them into the emergency room? >> if their vomiting continues, they want keep anything down, they can get dehydrated. and you want to go to the emergency room. >> until we get the child proof containers, keep these out of the reach of kids. >> locked up out of sight is the way to do it. >> rich, thanks so much. >> okay, guy, thanks. to a break in the missing teen. sierra lamar. police have dna evidence that links this man right here, antolin garcia-torres to the cheerleader's kidnapping. later today, he will appear in a california courtroom to face formal charges. david wright has the story. >> reporter: the local sheriff may believe teenager sierra lamar is dead. her alleged killer in custody but her family and an army of volunteers aren't convinced. they spent wednesday methodically searching ponds and reservoirs hoping to find her alive. >> not seeing her body there's something about that, you know, this is still open ended. it's a wide-open case. >> reporter: later today 21-year-old antolin garcia-torres is expected to be arraigned on kidnapping and murder charges. he has a criminal record including past arrests for felony battery and statutory rape. but his family insists he's innocent. >> he's not capable of that. there's no motive. >> reporter: there's no body and no murder weapon either but authorities say dna evidence found on articles of sierra lamar's clothing discarded with her purse link the suspect to the victim. the lamar family doesn't believe garcia-torres is innocent but they're hoping there's another less violent explanation. >> maybe he, you know, gave her to someone else who has her now or anything. >> reporter: sierra's mom says until they find answers, the search parties will continue. >> we continue to pray until she's found. our search still is not going to end. >> reporter: local volunteers say they understand. >> if you never know where your child is, how can you ever rest in this lifetime?

>> absolutely wonderful. let's go this way. >> reporter: tell us how it was. >> i am in a strange space if i'm totally honest. >> reporter: i'm sure. listen. we marveled at the handful of winged men who fly above our earth before popping a chute and gliding to safety. gary reckoned he could do it without the chute. a world record with a good chance of that being a posthumous accolade. >> my calculations worked out and i'm glad they did. >> reporter: and so was the long-suffering mrs. connery. >> i'm relieved it's all over. >> reporter: the poor woman must be used to it. gary made a name jumping off monuments and made a living as a stuntman, doubling for stars in movies like "the beach." but this, this was another level. he believed he could fly. he believed he could touch the sky. let's watch that landing once again. no one is going to say that's graceful. that's history. human history. now, gary has another stunt in the pipeline. he won't say what it is but all of you out there, if you have a religious bone in your body pray for him. just pray for him. >> and his poor long-suffering wife. >> absolutely. >> she said she was glad it was all over. it's not. >> he went in fast. >> looked like he had the wind knocked out of him. i have a stomachache watching him. >> sam, how about the weather?
