The product, in the report: Burts Bees Baby Bee Shampoo & Wash Fragrance Free & Tear Free
Burt’s Bees reformulated their Baby Shampoo & Wash Fragrance Free Tear Free and have been selling to stores without requiring them to update the product description, nor using any verbiage on the product itself alerting consumers that the product formulation has changed. I purchased this item from Walmart.com, fulfilled by Walmart. It left my 7 month old reeking of a chemical smell and it burned my 5 year old’s eyes. Upon further inspection, the color of the shampoo/wash is more transparent than it was before, and the percentage of natural ingredients has gone from 99.9% to 98.9%. It is not fragrance free, it smells like chemicals, and it is not tear free, as my older son found out. I reached out to Burt’s Bees and was told matter of factly that their formulation has not changed, despite the fact that the product is not a different color and is not a lesser percentage of “natural” ingredients. Never have I ever been flat out lied to by a company. Why are they not required to alert consumers that their formulation has changed? And what about the fact that this is no longer fragrance free not tear free? Please stop this product from harming any other children.
