A British couple say their daughter died of a severe allergic reaction to toothpaste, although a coroner's inquest ended with an open verdict.Francesca Sanna's parents, who live in Oswaldtwistle, England, say she had complained for some days before her death that her gums hurt, the Daily Mail reported. She went into anaphylactic shock just after brushing her teeth.
Coroner Carolyn Singleton refused to blame the toothpaste, saying only that Sanna, 19, died of shock and an allergic reaction.
"She must have come into contact with or ingested something that caused her death," Singleton said. "She was a young lady who was very careful. She knew what she could and could not touch."
Sanna's mother said after the verdict that she thinks the Aquafresh Mild & Minty toothpaste, which has redesigned packaging, might have added something that triggered the reaction. A spokeswoman for the manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline, said the formula has not changed.
Sanna's mother said her daughter, who suffered from multiple allergies, might have developed a new sensitivity.
