In addition, they may be exposed to higher levels than adults in the same location because of their short stature and the higher levels of sodium hydroxide in air found nearer to the ground. To qualify for a refund or replacement, products need to be complete with all components and original packaging.

Oh, and let’s not forget that about 25 percent of US public drinking water is treated with monochloramines. It’s possible for chlorine gas to be absorbed dermally (through the skin) and cause pain, inflammation, blistering and swelling. Repeated exposures can lead to inflammation and lung stiffness, causing respiratory failure and possibly death.
