Abstract
Products of the soap and detergent industry find their way into every home in America. Fifteen percent of all inquiries to Poison Control Centers involve the ingestion of household detergents and polishing agents by children under 5 years of age. In 1970, these amounted to 10,810 reports, of which one-third involved soap, detergents, and cleaners. It is widely recognized that there are many more episodes than those actually reported. Poison Control Centers have learned that these ingestions have rarely led to clinically significant illness in the past.
