Emergency room Made Oct 31, 2015, sent to the company Nov 9, 2015, published by CPSC Dec 2, 2015
The product, in the report: Reported to be: Heelix Foot and Shoe Care genuine Mink Oil aerosol. Made by AGS Footware at 11234 Air Park Rd, Ashland, VA 23004, 800-446-3820
46 year old male and 16 year old son were waterproofing their boots in their house. I do not know what kind of ventilation was used. that same day, he had respiratory difficulty and went to an Urgent Care but was discharged home. Son developed chest pain. Next day, both cats were dead. Father had difficulty breathing and could not get out of bed. Wife was not home during the waterproofing process. Son has improved but husband has had an additional ED evaluation and seen by PMD requiring steroids for his respiratory symptoms. Cats were taken to the MSU Veterinary College where they wanted to do necropsies but family could not afford the procedure. I have been unable to obtain the specific ingredients in the aerosol but it is highly suggestive of the prior episode of Bootmate which led to a recall because of nanoingredient used for waterproofing. This is Heelix Foot and Shoe Care aerosol bout at Rocky’s Outdoors: 810-742-5420. the only ingredient they could give me was the propellants: propane, isobutene and hexane. It also contains mink oil. I am unable to locate this product on the web.
