Seen by a doctor or nurse Made Apr 3, 2019, sent to the company Apr 15, 2019, published by CPSC Apr 29, 2019
The product, in the report: From advertising: “Let your child study the not-so-sweet smell of sulphur and other foul odors with Discovery #MindBlown’s Super Stink Lab experiment kit, complete with supplies and accessories for five smelly experiments“ It has packages of baking soda and bottles of a sulphur/garlic smelling compound.
There is a science toy with the Discovery Logo called Discovery Super Stink Lab. The kit is really dangerous (EMTs were called to our house), the stink permeates everything you own (which has to be thrown out if in contact), and the product needs to be taken off the market. There are tons of reviews on the internet about how terrible it is and I couldn’t agree more. My son was burned by the product and was screaming in the shower for 10 minutes from being in contact with the “toy”. I have bags of clothes and towels that have to be thrown out and our house reeks from the stuff. Just so you know the kit was used outside and only came in the house from getting on my son.
