    Ron N. is right, somewhat. I looked it up and this is what I found.
.
     " Mixing bleach and ammonia, the doctors explain, produces a gas called
chloramine. If inhaled, chloramine releases ammonia, hydrochloric acid and
oxygen-free radicals, which are harmful molecules, into the lungs. This
inflames the lung tissue and fluids obstruct air passages, blocking oxygen."

        But as I said, Wright's doesn't appear to contain any ammonia. I
don't know where I got the phosgene gas thing, probably an urban legend from
my youth. I am certainly not a chemist, although I have studied chemistry
(somewhat). Thanks Ron, you win this one.
