Tide laundry pods are an efficient way to clean your dirty clothes..
    But lately, they've also been an easy ticket to the hospital.
   Some kids think those colorful cleaning pods are packets of candy.
    So they're swallowing them which has led to a spike in emergency room visits.
Doctors say the chemicals inside can cause respiratory problems and lung inflammation.
    They say to avoid problems keep them out of reach of children.
