Posted November 15, 2018 05:24:22A 2-year-old boy died after ingesting the chemical used in carpet cleaning at a factory in Odoban, police said.

The toddler’s death is being investigated as a possible case of poisoning.

Police say the child had been using the carpet cleaner “xtreme” on the floor of a room where the family was cleaning the carpet at the company’s factory in Odaiba, south of Tokyo.

Police said they did not immediately know whether the toddler was using the substance alone or if it was mixed in with a second substance used in cleaning.
