The product, in the report: a product that absorbs moisture
The consumer started having sore throat, severe headaches coughs, eye problems and rash. The consumer had placed the Damp Rid bag in the closet of her bedroom around June 2023. Discovered the bag was leaking in August 2023. The consumer contacted the company and was told to apply water and dry with cloth. The consumer’s attempt before that to dry carpet and walls did not work. The consumer is still having headaches and a sore throat periodically.
Damp Rid Is still not calling me back or sending info. Closet walls are wet despite drying them, putting fans on them.
