    The product, in the report: FLARP- Noise Putty (Pink) Slime product

    On Thursday, 6/29/17 Flarp- Noise Putty (Pink) was purchased at a Five Below Store in Saratoga Springs, NY. My 6yr old daughter accidentally got some of it in her long hair and did not inform me. Approximately 1hr later it had dried and created a large snarly mess. I proceeded to rinse the product with cold water to start because it says DO NOT HEAT on the label and that did nothing but make it more sticky. I then shampooed her hair and while rinsing, I became immensely concerned when her hair literally fell off into the tub. THIS PRODUCT ATE THROUGH MY DAUGHTERS HAIR!!!! I did not attempt to brush it at all during this process so there was no reason other the product for her hair to broken off like that! This is extremely infuriating considering children are playing with this product- IT IS OBVIOUSLY TOXIC!
