From a Medical perspective and not much to do with the SDS issues, children and elderly persons have ingested laundry pods and no good has come of it. These persons are unlikely to benefit from an SDS.

More information can be found in our paper: Hall AH et al. Corrosive substances ingestion: A review. Crit Rev Toxicol 2019; 49(8):637-699.

Having worked previously for companies that both make and use anionic surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulfate (aka sodium lauryl sulfate) is too high a foamer for laundry detergents, which use the more effective (and lower foaming) sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate.

All the major consumer brand companies (e. g., P&G) will have SDSs for their products.

All the best to everyone for Christmas =F0=9F=8E=84 and the New Year!
