In this report, household cleaning substances are the number one source, responsible for more than 217,400 cases of exposure each year. Analgesics, primarily acetaminophen, are number two.
The number three source is personal care products, which include cosmetics, at more than 205,200 exposures. Household and personal care products together are responsible for more than FIVE TIMES THE NUMBER REPORTED FROM PESTICIDES.
For Children under the age of 6 years, the number one source of exposure is personal care products, including cosmetics (153,057), and the number two source is household cleaning substances (123,575).
