Hurt, no treatment Made Oct 27, 2023, sent to the company Oct 31, 2023, published by CPSC Nov 15, 2023
The product, in the report: Q-Cote - Paraffin-based - Concrete Form Release Agent - 1 gallon (128 oz.)
I needed a product to seal concrete forms. The forms are made of wood and concrete will stick to the wood. So most any oil like vegetable oil or mineral oil etc. will work. I found a product on [REDACTED] and ebay made for the purpose called “Q-Cote - Paraffin-based - Concrete Form Release”. I applied it outside to my concrete forms in a carport . After spraying the wood forms with Q-Cote I noticed the fumes from the Q-Cote were very strong. But it was outdoors so I didn’t see a problem. But the fumes were so strong they got inside of my house. I had to evacuate the house so I went out shopping for 4 hours. I came back and the fumes were still in my house. Horrible toxic fumes. I had all the windows open and exhaust fans going. Anyway this product is so toxic you can spray it outside in a carport with no walls, so in the open air and the toxic fumes will penetrate your house. There are many 100% safe products to use to keep concrete from sticking to wood forms. So this product should be banned for public use. Yeah it really is as toxic as I described.
Let me add that this product is shipped via [REDACTED]. So the driver is at risk if this product which is in a cardboard box and plastic container was to leak.
