"We looked at social media trends over a four-year period and there were more than nearly 800,000 mentions or displays of taking laundry packets out of their containers and putting them in clear jars," said Brian Sansoni, senior vice president of the American Cleaning Institute. "That's putting style over safety"
"You need to keep those products out of sight and out of the reach of children. These products are meant to be kept in the containers, which are child-resistant."
"Every 44 minutes, U.S. poison control centers get a call about a child exposed to a liquid laundry detergent pod. Most involve children under 6 years old, and nearly all of them happen at home."
"Children, toddlers are so curious and they're pawing around - they can be attracted to anything," Sansoni added. Symptoms from exposure can include excessive vomiting, wheezing and gasping.
