Guinness has announced that this category will not be included in
future editions because attempts to break the record have taken
several lives.

One critically ill child suffocated when a stack of 500,000 cards fell
over on him.

The mail volume associated with these get-well cards interferes with
normal hospital mail service.  These record attempts divert scarce
resources from vital hospital functions.  Unfortunately, this
interference has had tragic consequences in several cases; lab results
and crucial records have been delayed or lost.

The parents and children involved are well-meaning, but they don't
think about of the consequences of their actions.  They don't know
about the problems that these record attempts have caused in the past.
