Hurt, no treatment Made Sep 27, 2011, sent to the company Oct 20, 2011, published by CPSC Nov 3, 2011
The product, in the report: 13 Piece cushion Grip Screwdriver set.
The consumer opened the product and noticed right away that they were oily and had a really strong smell. He washed them and then noticed a tingly numbing sensation around his hands and fingers. After three cleanings and two degreasings the smell was still a problem. He sent the product back to the retailer for a refund. His wife experienced a headache while on the screen porch, and said that she had to go back into the house.
