The common cause for consumption of hair dye is by suicidal intend or accidental oral ingestion.The toxicity of this compound has been found to cause angioneurotic edema, rhabdomyolysis and renal failure. Prompt recognition and effective management lead to complete recovery. We report a case in which minimal consumption has caused severe systemic complication.
