Question: Can someone die from ingesting Clorox?
Hello and thank you for sending your question.
Your question is a very good one and I will provide you with some information and suggestions here.
As you know Clorox is a name brand for bleach. depending on the quantity ingested this can be potentially life-threatening. If you or someone you know has ingested any amount of Clorox I suggest that you bring them to the emergency department immediately for evaluation.
A timely medical valuation will help to reverse any toxic effects of the bleach.
