For those wondering what the "don't do it" boxes mean in the second link (disclaimer: I haven't double-checked these):
Hair conditioner + Hydrogen peroxide: Hard to say for sure, but some quick googling suggests that this could bleach the hell out of your hair while also being generally unhealthy. Additionally, putting the H2O2 together with some hair dyes can cause explosions in large quantities, and smoke and scalp damage in more realistic amounts.
Chlorine bleach + Toothpaste: Another one that's hard to be certain on, but I've seen some commentary suggesting that putting this on your teeth will ruin your enamel pretty good.
Lye is generally pretty nasty for any body part, but especially the eyes. Avoid use unless absolutely necessary, it's dangerous stuff. Drain clogged? Try boiling water first.

The call centers also did not record information about the reasons for an exposure — whether, for instance, it was because of a direct concern over the coronavirus. But the authors indicated that a connection was likely because the timing corresponded to the increase in media coverage of the coronavirus, as well as stay-at-home orders and other instructions from public health officials.

Among the concerns in the report were the access that children have to dangerous products that are now in many more homes, and mixing substances that accidentally create dangerous chemical compounds and gasses.
