THE DAD of a little girl who tragically died after inhaling aerosol deodorant wants more parents to know the potential dangers.
Giorgia Green, 14, suffered a cardiac arrest in May 2022 after she sprayed deodorant in her bedroom.
The “otherwise perfectly healthy fit” teen who had “never been seriously ill” was found by her mum Clare dead on May 11, the parents explained.
Giorgia, from Derby, had autism and her dad Paul said she liked to spray deodorant on blankets as she found the smell comforting.
“She liked the smell of the deodorant and it made her feel relaxed and calm.” said Paul.
Writing on JustGiving, Paul said: “We want to share that this happened because our daughter sprayed too much aerosol deodorant.
“Please help us spread the word that toxic/poisonous chemicals and gases in aerosol cans can kill, this type of death is not limited to children,” he added.
So far the parents have raised more than £3,000.
“This hopefully could prevent further tragedies from happening again.
“Our greatest wish is that beloved Giorgia’s passing is not in vain,” Paul said.
