Not The Only Child To Die From Deodorant!

The Young Girl's Family Launched a Campaign.
The grieving family started a donation campaign to prevent other children from being victimized upon the death of their daughter. Trying to raise awareness of the dangers of aerosol products, the couple wants the warnings on spray deodorants to be larger and clearer.
Speaking to the BBC, father Paul said, "We don't want anyone in the world to experience what we went through. People don't know how dangerous the products in those boxes are." he continued as follows; "Our daughter's death would not have been in vain if our efforts had prevented even one person from dying."
