On the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, when 1-year-old Meimei (pseudonym) was playing in the kitchen, she picked up a bottle of transparent liquid on the ground and poured it into her mouth, and the parents were shocked when they found out, and they were scared to grab it. The baby is drinking a bottle of decontaminant dilution that is missing about 150 ml of liquid.

The mother checked the ingredients, although the bottle body said that it was food grade fruit acid, but still could not rest assured, quickly carried her daughter to Wuhan Children's Hospital. Fortunately, the child's vital signs are stable, and after gastric lavage and other treatment, he was discharged from the hospital, and the doctor recommended going home for observation.

In the emergency department, another baby mistakenly took adult health products as candy. 1-year-old boy Sixi went to his grandmother's house to visit the door, saw the "jelly beans" on the table, and quietly stuffed it into his mouth behind the back of the adult, but he did not expect that this was a health care product that the old man ate every day.
