Children have been eating miniature laundry detergent packs which have arrived on store shelves recently as an alternative to bulky bottles. Doctors across the country are confusing the tiny brightly colored packets of detergent with candy and end up swallowing them. Nearly 250 cases have been reported so far and the symptoms are worst than typical detergent poisonings. The lightweight plastic packets contain a single-use amount of detergent that dissolves in water and intended to be used in place of liquid or powder. Tide has been working closely with poison control centers to make sure parents know more about the risks to their children.
I choose this article because I have younger siblings and I wanted to know more about this new type of detergent that is more dangerous to children. The article was well written and have expert opinions of doctors and industry specialists. I enjoyed learning about this new consumer product its benefits and the health risk that it poses to young children.
