The product, in the report: humidifier that sprays a white mist
As soon as the product is turned on, it produces a fine mist into the air. Within a week of his initial use of the humidifier, the consumer noticed a dust on his furniture and other items that were near the humidifier. He initially did not think much of this.
He used the product for approximately 7 weeks and 5 week into using the product, the consumer developed a hacking cough (similar to a smokers cough). The cough also continued to get worse over time.
Some of this dust was being sucked into his return-air duct. This is when he identified that this mist floated in the air and remained for an unidentified amount of time.
3/2/2018: The home heating system shut down and stopped working. The consumer had to get a technician out to examine it. The first tech. did not correctly identify the problem.
3/3/2018: The consumer had a 2nd technician come out, who was more experienced. This tech. was able to identify that particles from the humidifier were being trapped in the home heating system’s return-air duct. The tech. also said that the consumer’s filter was very tight and able to trap these particles. However, lower quality filters may allow the particles to go into this home heating/venting system and could impact its’ operation.
Within 1 - 3 days of discontinued use of the product, the consumer began to feel almost 100% better.
3/5/2018: The consumer contacted the manufacturer and spoke with a Customer Service Rep. and reported the issue and asked if he could be reimbursed. The rep. took the consumer’s information and told him that a supervisor would call him back, but he had not received a call at the time of this report.
3/8/2018: The consumer followed up with the manufacturer again. The consumer believes that their warnings are misleading and he inquired about getting reimbursed again. The rep. asked him questions and told him that she had to pass his information over to a supervisor.
The consumer is extremely concerned because if this product affected his heating systems filter, he questions what the health effects would be to homeowners.
3/4/2018: The consumer returned the product back to the retailer and reported the problem as well. The retailer took the product back and gave him a full refund.
