First aid Made Jul 17, 2013, sent to the company Jul 25, 2013, published by CPSC Aug 8, 2013
The product, in the report: A chemically-treated cloth that stays cold even in the hot sun. It requires having some moisture and it is stored in a plastic tube. Athletes apply it to their necks and faces to cool off during a summer sporting event. It is 33 x 13 inches and is pinkish red.
I just filed an incident report but had accidentally sent it before I completed my contact information. The report is regarding a face rash and allergic reaction in the eyes in a child using the O2Cool Arcticloth cooling towel on July 16 and 17, 2013.
As I already said, my 10-year-old daughter is suffering from discomfort, rash, and swollen eyes after using this product twice. We thought her symptoms were a sunburn the first time since she spent a day in the sun playing tennis. The second time she used it she was in bed and had it wrapped around her face and neck because she wanted the coolness to comfort her from her itchy face and rash. We didn’t realize until after a couple of hours when she awoke in discomfort that it was the cloth that was causing her problems. We’ve treated her with Benadryl and may see a doctor in the morning. Her breathing seems to be okay and we’re monitoring her sleep.
There are other consumers with similar experiences with this product according to customer reviews on Amazon.com. The product has no directions or safety information or warnings. Consumers need this information so they can prevent the harm that has been caused my daughter.
