  1. Hurt, no treatment

    Made Oct 3, 2024, sent to the company Oct 8, 2024, published by CPSC Oct 23, 2024

    The product, in the report: 8oz Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser

    Purchased a new 8oz bottle of Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser from our local CVS. When my daughter pumped the product into her hands she received an electric shock which caused pain and radiated into her fingers. Confused, she pumped a second time and again received an electric shock. Upon telling me, her mother, I tried pumping a small amount into my hand in a darkened room and also felt not only an electric shock, but I saw a brief electric spark at the same time.
