Baby oil is a common household product that is frequently used when there are @entity1 or toddlers in the house. However, it is often overlooked as a potential source of danger to these youngsters. In 1983, 36,700 cases of ingestion were reported to the @entity4968 surveillance and epidemiology branch of the Food and Drug Administration. Topical preparations used in the care of @entity1 accounted for 480 of the cases. Ten percent of these required hospitalization. In 36 cases, the product ingested was baby oil. This figure does not include baby lotions and other skin products with a mineral oil base. Aspiration of mineral oil, the main component of baby oil, has been described as a cause of @entity55 and oleomas.
