Arietta-Grace Barnett began vomiting a “bright pink liquid” on June 28 last year, with her mother rushing her to hospital fearing she may have ingested the toxic capsule

A two-year-old girl died after apparently swallowing a toilet cleaner capsule which caused her to vomit pink liquid, an inquest has heard.

Arietta-Grace Barnett began vomiting a “bright pink liquid” on June 28 last year, with her mother rushing her to hospital fearing she may have ingested the toxic capsule.

On July 2, she was declared well enough to leave hospital before attending an outpatient appointment the following day, the Winchester hearing was told.

But when Arietta-Grace began bleeding on July 9, she was readmitted to Southampton General Hospital and died that day.

Coroner Rosamund Rhodes-Kemp said Arietta-Grace was believed to have swallowed a Toilet Duck capsule.

She said: “On June 28, 2019, Lucy Cook called 111 concerned her daughter Arietta-Grace may have swallowed a cleaning product while mum was downstairs, Arietta was upstairs.
