CPSC Warns of Poison Dangers with Liquid Laundry Packets

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is urging parents to take immediate action to ensure their family is not exposed to the hazards posed by liquid laundry packets or capsules. Children who have injested detergent from the packets have required medical attention and hospitalization for loss of consciousness, excessive vomiting, drowsiness, throat swelling and difficult breathing. Eye contact has also resulted in reports of temporary loss of vision.
