Single-Use Laundry Detergent Pack Exposures in Children Under 6 Years: A Prospective Study at U.S. Poison Control Centers.

Background: After the widespread introduction of single-use liquid laundry detergent packs (LLDPs), a prospective observational study was initiated among 12 U.S. poison control centers (PCCs), serving 25% of the population.

Laundry pack exposures in children 0-5 years evaluated at a single pediatric institution.

Background: Case reports and poison center series have highlighted increased safety concerns with laundry packs, especially when compared to traditional laundry detergents.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the clinical experience with laundry pack exposures at a single institution.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed for exposures to laundry packs seen at a single tertiary care children's hospital medical center.
