Laundry detergent pods pose risk for kids

Kids looking forward to "candy" season have be getting a little impatient and are getting their hands on poison.

Small children are mistaking mini laundry detergent pods for candy and eating them and the number of cases have spiked.

A report said that over a 30-day period last summer nearly 500 kids got sick after eating the little packets.

The makers of Tide pods say they are working on childproof packaging.
