Between 2012 and 2015, the number of chemical burns to the eye associated with laundry detergent pods increased more than 30-fold among preschool-aged children in the U.S., according to a recent study. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University US examined the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System for eye injuries resulting in chemical burn or conjunctivitis among children age 3 to 4 years.
During this time period, 1,201 laundry detergent pod-related ocular burns occurred among children age 3 to 4 years. The number of chemical burns associated with laundry detergent pods increased from 12 instances in 2012 to 480 in 2015 (Nieuwsbericht The JAMA Network, 2 februari 2017).
