  1. Hurt, care not known

    Made Jun 7, 2022, sent to the company Jun 10, 2022, published by CPSC Jun 28, 2022

    The product, in the report: Catchmaster insect glue board

    In my apartment for the past 2 years, I set out a readily available pest control product called “Catchmaster”, a small glue board, 4 to a package, which was very effective. The product, listed in many varieties on Amazon, is noted as being “non-toxic, home and family safe”. However, I discovered that the chemical in the glue has been causing me a severe breathing problem. Not knowing for 2 years what was causing my shortness of breath, I was putting out more and more of this product around my apartment because it had great results, until I realized that the more of them I placed around my apartment, the more serious my breathing problem became. Having gradually found and removed all of the product that I had placed around my apartment, I continue to have residual chemical effects, mostly in my bedroom area.
