It has been said that if a person has nothing good to say it is best to say nothing at all. However, in this instance, I cannot nor will I restrain myself. For one thing, I do not like "pranks" that are at an individuals' expense. There are tons of pranks and jokes available that don't do this. (This is one of the reasons I have never liked Howard Stearn.)

Frankly, this was not only not a particularly bright idea but subject the manufacturer to potential litigation. Baby Powder has a number of formulations which can include talc, cornstarch, and tricalcium phosphate. While the danger of talc has now been widely recognized, it is still available in some formulations. Small particulate powders if inhaled can result in a range of problems including pneumonitis and asthma. Really, this has to be one of the stupidest ideas I have run into in a long time.

"Developed to spray powder on the cheeks..." I saw the video. Whoever believes this is kidding himself. If I were consulting for the plaintiff I would have the video introduced as evidence. The jury would be hard-pressed not to find for the plaintiff after seeing it.

The creator would be well advised to withdraw this insane prank from the market before some untoward event occurs resulting in litigation which I can guarantee he will lose.

May be, but you will agree that 'The Whistle Blower' sadly lacks the flavor, richness, beauty & class of the good old 'Divers Lung Tester'. Right"?

What's dangerous about talc?

Of course it does. Though for a portable version to carry in your pocket this is perfect as the final outcome results in the same reactions/fun from the audience and the victim. Something I know I don't have to tell you Ustaad, it's not the prop but the performer, his/her presentation, and the final outcome resulting from the prop that makes the effect successful whether it's a plain looking whistle or some fancy elegant looking good old Lung Tester.

Im familiar with the prop but not the method so apologies for asking a question that many may know the answer to but how easy is this to do in reverse?

As a kids/family magician I can see lots of possibilities with using this the other way with me being the victim.

RNK, I have always agreed to your point of view and reasoning. And I have no reason for not doing so now.
