American Academy of Pediatrics conducted a study that suggested parents to be conscious of keeping cleaning products out as toddlers have experienced injuries due to these products.

Among children who were treated in U. S. emergency rooms, the study examined trends of household cleaning product-related injuries between 1990 and 2006. Despite companies making an attempt to make child-care packaging, these products still pose a significant risk to young, curious toddlers.

From 1990 to 2006, about 267,269 kids were treated for nonfatal injuries that were unintentional and caused by cleaning products. The report was conducted by Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, of kids who were less than five years old.

Kids who were one to three years old comprised 72 per cent of these cases. About 45.9 per cent cases were on kids who were one year old.

Bleach was found to be the product associated with injuries the most.

One-third of cases were due to cleansers containing low-molecular weight hydrocarbons, acids and detergents.

Report stated, "These estimates most likely reflect the ubiquitous nature of household cleaning products and the ease of accessibility to children. Household cleaning products are alluring to children because of their color, scent, and brightly colored packaging."
