What safety precautions is this about? Is it about warning labels on plastic bags or not letting your kids play outside because they will get kidnapped?
I’m not thinking about safety precautions, but about “new(…ish…?)” health and nutrition guidelines for children.
For example: no honey before the age of 1, no raw meat during pregnancy, sturdier/bulkier car seats, and kids wearing bicycle helmets is more or less the norm where I live.
I can’t think of any more examples, but whenever my parents-in-law are visiting, there will inevitably be at least one thing where they scoff at us and say something like, “Ugh, kids these days… We did/didn’t do this or that, and it didn’t harm us, and we turned out just fine…”
If I got a penny every time I heard “my mother never went to a doctor during her pregnancy and I’m fine” I would probably had like 5 cents now. I’m not sure it’s a generational gap though. I think it’s more stupid vs. not so stupid people. I know old people that understand how medicine works and young anti-vaxxers.

Whenever someone says they turned out fine, I don’t believe them
It’s a very cope thing to say
