93岁的痴呆病人Elizabeth Van Der-Drift因不小心吞食类似甜食的洗衣洗涤剂片片而死亡。 93-year-old dementia patient Elizabeth Van Der-Drift died after accidentally ingesting laundry detergent tablets that resembled sweets. 该容器的明亮颜色和与一袋糖果相似之处被指出为对痴呆病人和其他认知障碍者的一种风险。 The packaging's bright colors and similarity to a bag of sweets were noted as a risk to dementia patients and others with cognitive impairment. 助理验尸官Ian Potter警告说,现行条例可能不考虑痴呆病人和认知障碍患者的风险,因为它们主要侧重于儿童的安全。 Assistant coroner Ian Potter warned that existing regulations might not consider the risks to dementia patients and those with cognitive impairment, as they focus primarily on children's safety. 波特向产品安全和标准办公室首席执行官、卫生和社会关怀国务秘书和联合王国清洁产品工业协会总干事发出了警告。 Potter sent the warning to the chief executive officer of the Office for Product Safety and Standards, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, and the director general of the UK Cleaning Product Industry Association.
