The number of children digesting laundry detergent packets has increased by 17 percent from 2013 to 2014. 22,000 children were exposed to them during that period of time, Only life threatening situations occurred when children were exposed to them which made their breathing stop,cardiac arrest, comas, and death. Many sellers of the liquid detergent product say they've made it harder for the detergent to be accessed. There had also been a slight increase in poison calls for dishwasher detergent, but not as significant as laundry wash.
Many parents shouldn't let small children have access to the washroom so that these issues wont occur. I realize that sometimes parents are busy and forget about some things, but the life of a child is important and should always be taken seriously. Caution may be taken more seriously about the issue in many more households for the children's safety.
