The product, in the report: Patch and Paint Spackling
Consumer stated after he had used the spackle to patch holes in preparation for painting the room, approximately 1 hour later he and his spouse smelled a chemical odor which he believed caused them to develop severe headaches, difficulty breathing and chest pains. They were not able to spend the night at the house.
6/25/11 Consumer took his spouse to the Emergency room at [REDACTED] in [REDACTED] where she was given oxygen and some kind of treatment (not sure what kind) by the physician and released. There was no diagnosis. Consumer stated on 7-12-2011 his spouse took him to the emergency room at the same hospital for treatment, where he was treated and released.
Consumer stated that because of the fumes that this product released, he and his spouse were not able to live in their home since 6/24/11. He has had surface and air samples for the interior of the house tested by a company and he was advised that there was formaldehyde 20, sodium silicote 4000 ppm and sodium borate(not sure of the levels).
Consumer contacted the manufacturer on 7-8-11 and 8-3-11 and was advised that they did not believe that he and spouse illness was caused from the product. Consumer feels that the Spackle is a health hazard and should be investigated.
10-11-2011 Consumer added: The chemical(s) in the spackling was unknowingly transferred to my daughter’s apartment. The chemical(s) are in my clothes and truck as well as my wife’s clothes and car. My granson has become sick and my daughter became sick and had to go to the hospital emergency room.
