OP

I'm extrapolating a little bit, I guess - it's definitely not the text of the ad - but I don't think I'm exaggerating that much, either.

If your message is "our product is uniquely able to save your child's life", and the value proposition is that your product is better than other products at saving your child's life, then the converse of that is that not buying their product is a failure to protect your children, and therefore ultimately a failure as a parent. It's completely trading on fear and insecurity and anxiety and the sense of parental responsibility.

Again, it's definitely nothing the ad says explicitly, but I think it's implicit in the way that the ad presents itself.
