Abstract

Accidental ingestion comments received from May 1986 to April 1988 via a toll-free telephone line on detergent product labels were profiled to learn the weight of ingesters, the reported ingestion volumes, and the symptoms reported for several different detergent product categories. Most of the ingesters weighed 20 kg or less; however, 10% of the ingesters weighed 70 kg or more. Most detergent product ingestions involved 1 teaspoon of product or less. Reported symptoms varied with product type and ingestion volume.
