Emergency room
Made Sep 21, 2016, sent to the company Oct 13, 2016, published by CPSC Oct 27, 2016

The product, in the report: Full-size duvet cover

In late August I bought an item through Amazon (Another Vintage World Map Duvet Cover). This duvet cover was for my daughter, and we put it on her bed without laundering. Yesterday and the day before (September 19-20), shortly after touching this duvet cover, I had serious allergic reactions, and the second time a trip to the emergency room. My throat swelled so much that for the rest of the day I had difficulty swallowing. I documented the second incident and can provide a photo of the swelling where I had touched my lip (of course you can’t see the swelling that partially closed my throat), and the emergency room report upon request.
I am deeply concerned that these duvet covers are going out to other people, including children, who may be even more sensitive than I am, resulting in serious illness or even death. I reported this to Amazon and they refunded my purchase price, but Society6 has not responded to my emails and they are still offering the item for purchase. Their website shows them to be a place for artists to sell their products, and the specific artist listed as the maker of this duvet is “beaulac-MJDesigns”. I Googled the name and it is [REDACTED]. Her website is in French so she may be in France or Canada.
There is no way for me to be 100% certain that the duvet cover is what caused the reaction because the doctor told me to never touch it again and I am definitely not going to! But both times the swelling began moments after I touched the fabric and then touched the part of my face that swelled up. We have nothing else new in the home, and I am seldom on my daughter’s bed so it is easy to backtrack. The doctor said that the plastic it was shipped in may have been coated with a pesticide which was transferred to the fabric (we discarded the packaging as soon as it arrived), or it may be something in the fabric itself. I have had a sensitivity to pesticides on fruit in the past, so this would make sense. I plan to have my daughter put gloves on and place the duvet in a plastic garbage back when she comes home today, because it seems like someone should test it. I have no way to do that and the company won’t respond to my emails, so I am asking for your guidance. If you are unable to help, I will simply throw it away and pray that this was an isolated incident.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(10/13/2016) Society6, LLC: First, Society6 wishes to thank the Submitter for taking the time to bring this issue to our attention. Society6 takes very seriously the customer experience, particularly when it involves a potential product safety issue. Therefore, as with any other such complaints, Society6 has looked into the issues raised by Submitter and responds as follows.
The Submitter claimed in the Report that she had an adverse reaction to, what she believes is, the duvet cover that she bought for her daughter from Society6 through Amazon, which is one of Society6’s retail partners. The Submitter also claims that “Society6 has not responded to my emails and they are still offering the item for purchase.”
Submitter’s email complaint to Society6 was sent, through Amazon, on September 19, 2016. Society6 responded, through Amazon, on September 20, 2016, refunded her payment, and advised her that she did not need to return the product. It appears there might be some confusion about which entity was responding to Submitter’s complaint, but please be advised that Society6 does not ignore complaints that are transmitted to it, and did not ignore Submitter.
On a more substantive level, Society6 vets its vendors, including obtaining product safety assurances, and, as appropriate, works with such vendors when safety concerns are brought to light by consumers. As to the duvet cover at issue in this Report, after researching the issue, Society6 has found that it has sold thousands of similar duvet covers but has not received any other complaints about safety or other adverse physical reactions to the materials, let alone any complaints describing a reaction as adverse as Submitter’s reaction. Therefore, while Society6 is sympathetic to Submitter’s experience, it appears that it may have been an isolated incident that was unique to Submitter (assuming such reaction was even caused by the duvet cover or the plastic wrapping in which it was delivered by the vendor). Please know that, as always, Society6 remains vigilant about potential safety issues and will address as appropriate.
