The product, in the report: 4 lbs tub of carpet cleaner Rug Dry Cleaner
The consumer cleaned the walkways in his home. He stated that he used 3 out of the 4 lbs. of cleaner that came in the tub.
Within a couple hours, the consumer’s wife began to feel ill and he had to take her to Urgent Care on 10/20/2016. The wife was referred from Urgent Care over to the hospital for an ultra-sound. The wife was experiencing difficulty swallowing and shortness of breath.
An ultra sound was taken and the consumers saw their primary care doctor the following day.
The wife was referred to an Ear, Nose & Throat doctor. It appeared that her thyroid was inflamed. The consumer noted that his wife and he are both 64 years and haven’t experienced this problem previously.
The EN&T conducted an ultra-sound and examined her throat, nasal passages. Multi-adulor goiters (tiny bumps on her thyroid). The wife was given 15 tablets of [REDACTED]. This did not alleviate her symptoms. The wife was referred to Corvalus Hospital, where she remained for 2 days in their out patient program, where she stayed on 11/8/2016 & 11/09/2016.
It was determined that the wife did not have cancer.
The wife later went to Lebanon Community Hospital. A substance was administered to the wife, which enabled the doctor to see her esophagus.
11/8/2016: The wife then went back to her primary care physician.
The physician suggested that the carpet cleaner was the culprit.
The consumer said that this material is even affecting his dog.
11/16/2016: The consumer took his wife back to urgent care. Anti-biotics was prescripted for the wire.
The consumer noted that this substance is sprayed on the carpet in a pre-soak fashion. Then it is later brushed into the carpet for deep cleaning. Anytime the consumer vacuums his carpet, this substance is raised in his home and his wife has to leave the home to avoid an injury.
This has impacted the wife’s ability to sleep through the nigh.
