I was stunned when I read this. I haven’t heard word one about Tide pods being removed from the market, and it sounds like it is much more prevalent than Suboxone exposures:

Excerpt from article:
Ten minutes after a 20-month-old swallowed a laundry detergent packet, the child developed profuse vomiting, wheezing and gasping and then became unresponsive to even painful stimuli.

A 15-month-old who bit into a pack and swallowed a mouthful had profuse vomiting and, after arrival at a hospital, had to be put on a ventilator for airway protection.

A 17-month-old bit into a packet and then rapidly developed drowsiness, vomited, breathed the product into the lungs and had to be put on a ventilator.
