  • Risks related to pods exposure compared to traditional laundry detergent products: Study of cases recorded by French PCC from 2005 to 2012

    2017, Toxicologie Analytique et Clinique
    Citation Excerpt :

    This led the Coordination Committee of Toxicovigilance (CCTV) to analyse the exposures to pods recorded in the French PCC database. Although numerous studies have been published in France and worldwide confirming the significant risks associated with water-soluble LDP [7–22], we intended to stress their specific paediatric risk by comparing the complete exposures to LDP with those of traditional liquid laundry (TLL) detergent products. A retrospective study was conducted by the French PCC and the French institute for public health surveillance which analysed the data issued from the French Toxicovigilance network from 01 January 2005 to 31 December 2012 on the cases exposed to LDP compared to those exposed to TLL.

  • Management of electrical and chemical burns in children

    2014, Journal of Surgical Research
    Citation Excerpt :

    In conjunction with more robust adult data, this has been used to publish an evidence-based approach to pediatric electrical burn patients [10]. Chemical burns in children have been more commonly described in the literature in terms of caustic ingestions [11,12] and corneal injury from chemical splashes [13,14]; however, cutaneous chemical burns have been less well studied, consisting primarily of case reports and case series [15–20]. The management of these patients is variable, and outcomes have not been well defined.

  • Cutaneous chemical burns in children - A comparative study

    2013, Burns
    Citation Excerpt :

    Exposure to chemicals is an unusual causation of cutaneous burns in children. The majority of chemical burns sustained under the age of 16 years are due to ingestion of caustic substances [1–3] or corneal injury from chemical splashes [4–6], especially in the younger age group. Isolated cutaneous burns in children, secondary to exposure to chemicals are rarely reported in the literature, and are generally limited to case reports or case series [7–9].

  • Aerosol container-related eye injuries in the United States: 1997-2009

    2011, American Journal of Ophthalmology
    Citation Excerpt :

    Items commonly associated with eye injuries in children have included toys, pens and pencils, and household cleaners.8,9 Like toys, household cleaning products may appeal to children because of their color, scent, attractive packaging,17 and children's instinct to squeeze or play with particular items.18 The most common mechanism of aerosol container-related eye injury in children was self-inflicted spray—it is feasible that appealing packaging in concert with children's inquisitive natures accounted for many injuries.
