After a youngster was blinded in an event involving a washing pod, parents have received an urgent warning.
While assisting her mother, Jodi Lowe, with washing, four-year-old Luca de Groot bit into the gel capsule that contained concentrated detergent.
Jodi claims that before she could stop Luca from yelling, he unintentionally smeared the product in her eyes.
Jodi tried to rinse the chemicals off her daughter by putting her in the shower, but as Luca’s yelling became louder, she hurried her to the hospital.
Images of Luca’s red, puffy eyes covered with painful blisters and scabs that appeared days after being exposed to the detergent are shocking.
