A mum has warned parents after her toddler was mistakenly given hand sanitiser to eat by his grandmother who thought it was a snack due to the packaging. Nikki Teixeira's 18-month-old son Logan "immediately turned red and started coughing" after consuming the Trolls germ killer before becoming drowsy.

The concerned parent, of Manitoba, Canada, told Good Morning America how she'd bought the sanitizer for her stepdaughter, aged 7, to take to school. "The way it was packaged and displayed with hand sanitizers, I didn't even think of it looking like food," she explained.
