Packed in single-load "Sleeves" detergents are time-saving, but these clothes are also attractive to children who make the sleeves for festivities, error poisoning danger to help.
This warning comes from the CDC and the American Association of poison control centers (AAPCC).
Laundry detergent pod exposure for almost half of all laundry detergent-based poisoning (485 of 1,008) reported from May 17, June 17, 2012, responsible was, wrote Satish Pillai, MD, of the CDC and colleagues in the Oct. 19 issue of morbidity and mortality weekly report.
A study in the archives of disease in childhood said last month children confuse the soft candy packages.
These claims 454--98% of all laundry pod Vergiftungen--patients 5 years or younger and have side effects such as vomiting, mental status changes and shortness of breath.
Laundry detergent pods are single use, concentrated detergent capsules with a water-soluble membrane that dissolves, when exposed to moisture.
The CDC and AAPCC noted, four case reports of young patients with bite sleeve cleaning means serious adverse events after a laundry early in may 2012, prior to the development of a poison control code specifically for laundry detergent pod present poisoning.
All patients were 10 to 20 months old and after bite or taking the contents of a laundry detergent pod, developed a combination of symptoms of a violent vomiting, somnolence, lack of reaction, seizure-like symptoms and shortness of breath. Three of the patients required intubation and released within 48 hours. The fourth patient needed to handle an emergency endoscopy of epiglottic swelling, but not intubation needed.
After this poisoning and other serious adverse events worked together the agencies, tax code for laundry pod-related poisoning for easier tracking in the national poison data system to a new poison detergents develop. The report contains a medical outcome for the poisoning, if available, as well as whether the exposure was unintended, the route of exposure, patient age, and signs and symptoms of exposure.
After the code has been implemented, reported the agencies in addition to pod content consumption, eyes, skin and breathing were found, other common routes of pod and non-pod detergent poisoning be.
An analysis of all poisoning incidents showed that patients 5 years and younger were significantly more frequently than older patients are poisoned by laundry sleeve (P< 0.001).
Compared with non-pod detergent poisoning and despite a 20% rate of no adverse effects on laundry pod exposure, patients exposed detergent sleeves were significantly more likely to develop a slight serious side effect (P< 0.001), although no poisoning cases death led.
Vomiting, irritation of the eyes, coughing, gagging, pain and drowsiness or lethargy, were the most commonly reported symptoms detergent pod hazard.
"Health care providers should be aware that exposure to detergents from pods may often exposure to non-pod detergent, adverse health effects are associated with" the report concludes.
In an accompanying editorial note, the authors noted that the research has been limited by self-reported data, more likely poison control reports due to the recent natural detergent pod products, different codes for types of claims and exclusion reports, not on followed were.
