Are there any recorded risks to the kids from breathing air freshener at home?

Depends on the child: If a child has asthma, strong scents can trigger symptoms. Also, some children have allergies to certain chemicals.

Look On Can: I'm sure that there are risks if a large amount is inhaled all at once or if a small amount is inhaled every single day, and some asthmatics can have an asthma attack triggered by strong smells, but specific toxicity to normal use is rare.
