Baby Hospitalized in Moderate Condition After Bleach Burns in Bnei Brak

A severe incident occurred overnight in Bnei Brak when a 10-month-old baby girl suffered serious burns after being exposed to the cleaning product bleach in her home. Emergency responders from the Hatzalah organization were dispatched to the residence following a report of a burned infant. Working alongside paramedics from Magen David Adom, the responders provided urgent medical treatment to the baby, who sustained second-degree burns over approximately 30% of her body. Volunteer medics Nadav Revivo and Daniel Sal, who arrived first on the scene, described the situation, stating, "When we arrived, they brought us a ten-month-old baby suffering from burns on 30% of her body after being burned by bleach." After initial stabilization in the field, the infant was transported by a mobile intensive care unit to the trauma room at Sheba Medical Center in Tel HaShomer, where she is listed in moderate condition.

Following this unfortunate incident, Hatzalah is reiterating its warnings to the public, especially families with young children, to strictly adhere to safety guidelines. They emphasize the importance of keeping cleaning supplies, chemicals, and poisons out of reach of children and infants, recommending that such materials be stored only in high, locked cabinets to prevent unnecessary tragedies.
