Jude Law toddler, 2, eats ecstasy
Monday, October 7, 2002 Posted: 6:31 AM EDT (1031 GMT)

LONDON, England -- The two-year-old daughter of film stars Jude Law and Sadie Frost was rushed to a London hospital after she swallowed part of an ecstasy tablet at a children's party, according to media reports.

Police said they were called by hospital staff after a toddler spent the night under observation on a ward after swallowing the drug.

Iris Law had to endure a stomach pump and brain scan following the incident at an exclusive club in London's West End, Britain's Sun newspaper reported on Monday.

The quick actions of Frost, 34, who featured in Bram Stoker's Dracula and Gosford Park, prevented Iris from swallowing the entire tablet.

Law, 29, the star of Road to Perdition and The Talented Mr. Ripley, was alerted as he was filming in the United States, the newspaper said.

A Scotland Yard spokesman told the Press Association: "We were called at 4:11 p.m. (1531 GMT) on Saturday afternoon by a London hospital regarding a two-year-old female child that was believed to have swallowed half a tablet of ecstasy.

"The child had been attending a children's party on Saturday where she was believed to have picked up a tablet that had been left on the floor of the premises on Old Compton Street. The premises had been used as a bar and nightclub on the Friday.

"It is believed that the child's mother discovered the two-year-old with an obstruction in her mouth. She managed to retrieve one half before it could be ingested.

"An ambulance took the child to the hospital where she was kept in for observation overnight. She was released on Sunday morning.

"The tablet has been confirmed as ecstasy," he said.

A spokesman for London's Soho House Club, where the incident happened, refused to comment, saying only: "There was a private party. It was a private matter and because it was regarding members I am not allowed to say any more."

A police source said there was no suggestion that Iris's parents were guilty of neglect, adding: "There are no plans to take action against the parents of the victim. This is being considered as an unforeseen accident outside the parents' control."

The licensing branch of the Metropolitan Police have been informed and are deciding whether to take further action.

The couple celebrated the birth of their son, Rudy, just last month. They have another son, Rafferty, five, and Frost has an 11-year-old son Finley from a previous marriage.
