A toddler has been left partially blind after biting into a Persil laundry pod, forcing her to endure three intense surgeries and leaving her mum warning other parents about the hidden dangers.

Jodi, 34, from Perth, Western Australia, was left heartbroken after her four-year-old daughter, Luca de Groot, bit into the pod on March 23 while helping with the laundry. After it burst, Luca ended up smearing the detergent across her eyes. In a panic, Jodi rushed her daughter to the shower, desperately trying to rinse it out, but the pain was relentless, reported the Daily Star.
