Miniature laundry detergent packets arrived on store shelves in
recent months as an alternative to bulky bottles and messy spills. But
doctors across the country say children are confusing the tiny, brightly
colored packets with candy and swallowing them.
Nearly 250 cases have been reported this year to poison control
centers. Though they remain a tiny fraction of the thousands of
poisoning calls received every year about household medicines and other
cleaning supplies, doctors are concerned. The symptoms they see in
connection with ingesting the packets _ such as nausea and breathing
problems _ are more severe than typical detergent poisoning.
