Death Made Jun 5, 2015, sent to the company Jul 8, 2015, published by CPSC Jul 22, 2015
The product, in the report: The product is a concentrated, industrial strength aluminum brightener containing sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid and ethanol.
A 3-year-old boy died shortly after ingesting a poisonous substance, specifically Pro Par Brightener, a compound containing sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid and ethanol, that is used as an industrial aluminum and metal cleaner. The child gained access to the substance while the family vehicle was stopped at a car wash. He and his 5-year-old brother were in their car seats in the back of the vehicle, while his parents were in the front. He worked his way out of his car seat and grabbed a 12 oz. plastic water bottle that was on the floor and where his father had stored the chemical substance. He drank approximately one third of its content and began to feel sick. When his parents realized what he had done they made the child drink water and called EMS for help. He was rushed to a hospital emergency room where he was treated but he was already unresponsive.
