  1. No one hurt

    Made Jul 6, 2019, sent to the company Jul 31, 2019, published by CPSC Aug 21, 2019

    The product, in the report: Nice! Drain Cleaner, red bottle, 32 oz

    I bought Nice! drain cleaner from Walgreens and I dropped my shopping bag on a table when I came home and went to the bathroom. While in the bathroom, I heard a leaking sound. I ran out to discover the “child-proof cap” had come off when I dropped the bag and it had leaked everywhere. I immediately opened my windows and proceeded to clean the spill with a baking soda solution and then an ammonia solution. I still came into contact with the corrosive liquid at times which caused me to have to flush my skin with large amounts of cold water and then wash my hands thoroughly. My concern is that a child-proof cap should not be able to come off the way it did, from such a normal activity as dropping a shopping bag on a table. It could happen to anyone and while I have no children or pets, this product presents a real danger to anyone who does. All I suffered was property damage and bouts of lightheadedness easily fixed by breathing closer to a window. What others could suffer is unnecessary harm to children and pets. Upon going to the store to buy ammonia, I discovered that the ammonia I had purchased had a pressure or tamper-proof seal that could have prevented a spill like this. It is my belief that Walgreens should have to package corrosive liquids more securely, whether that means improving on their lid design or adding a seal to the bottle. Either way, the Poison Prevention Packaging Act should address this problem. Thank you for your time and I hope Walgreens Co. is held to full account.
