Six family members have been treated for carbon monoxide after a grandmother used an indoor barbecue to dry clothes.

The unnamed woman lit the barbecue in the kitchen before leaving the house in east London last week.

Her 3-year-old granddaughter collapsed after being poisoned by the deadly gas, and was later treated at a nearby hospital with her family.

The poisoned family also included two boys aged between two and ten months, a four-year-old girl and her two daughters-in-law, aged 26 and 29.

Firefighters were called to the property on Wednesday (January 2), after she had placed the appliance near the back door of the house at around 3pm.

All six family members have since been discharged from hospital.
