Abstract：
Household cleaning and personal care products (HC&PCPs) are irreplaceable in most daily routines. However, data are sparse on chemical burns caused by HC&PCPs.
We queried the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) from 2012 to 2021 to characterize chemical burns caused by HC&PCPs as well as the most common causative categories of HC&PCPs responsible for chemical burns.
We found 2729 total emergency department (ED) visits due to chemical burn injuries within the years 2012-2021 due to HC&PCPs. Chemical burns disproportionally affect children ages four and under, accounting for 36.4% of all patients. Within this subpopulation, boys were more frequently affected by chemical burns and the eyes were the most affected area. The most common HC&PCPs involved in chemical burns in individuals ages one to four were laundry soaps and detergents (22.0%) and bleaches (21.3%).
Children ages four and under are disproportionately affected by chemical burns due to non-intentional exposure of HC&PCPs, with laundry detergents and bleaches being the most common causative agents. Adequate storage of all HC&PCPs and improved parental supervision are paramount in preventing chemical burns in this age group.

摘要：
背景：家庭清洁和个人护理产品（HC＆PCP）在大多数日常工作中是不可替代的。然而,关于HC和PCP引起的化学烧伤的数据很少。
方法：我们查询了2012年至2021年的国家电子伤害监测系统（NEISS），以表征由HC和PCP引起的化学烧伤以及负责化学烧伤的HC和PCP中最常见的致病类别。
结果：我们发现，在2012-2021年期间，由于HC和PCP导致的化学烧伤，急诊（ED）就诊总数为2729次。化学烧伤不成比例地影响4岁及以下的儿童，占所有患者的36.4%。在这个亚群中，男孩更经常受到化学烧伤的影响，眼睛是受影响最严重的区域。在1至4岁的个体中，涉及化学烧伤的最常见的HC和PCP是洗衣皂和洗涤剂（22.0％）和漂白剂（21.3％）。
结论：4岁及4岁以下的儿童因无意接触HC和PCP而受到化学烧伤的影响不成比例，衣物洗涤剂和漂白剂是最常见的病原体。所有HC和PCP的充足储存和改善父母的监督对于防止该年龄组的化学烧伤至关重要。
