A Rhode Island mother is speaking out to warn other parents about the hazard of a dangerous fad after her baby spent three days on life support after eating a laundry pod.

Cotter Cunha was 1 year old when he accidentally ingested a pod he mistook for candy, according to Yahoo News.  Two years after the incident, the child still suffers from breathing issues, according to Katelyn Cunha Flores, the mother.
