Hospital admission Made Sep 11, 2017, sent to the company Sep 19, 2017, published by CPSC Oct 10, 2017
The product, in the report: Orange labeled bottle from JBI Inc. Address on bottle: JBI Inc. 76 Palmetto Hwy, Industrial Park, Timmonsville, SC 29161 Phone: (843)346-4996 UN# 1790
The Carolinas Poison Center was contacted regarding a patient who was exposed to JBI Inc. (76 Palmetto Industrial Park, Timmonsville, SC 29161, P: (843)346-4996) “Dull Buster” Hydrofluoric acid wheel cleaning solution purchased one week prior from a local Car Quest. The specific hydrofluoric acid percentage is not listed on the bottle. A “warning UN # 1790” was listed on the bottle which corresponds to Hydrofluoric acid “with not more than 60 % hydrofluoric acid.” A specific MSDS sheet was delayed in availability (the company states a chemtrek phone number is present on the bottle, however, this number is not visible in any pictures of the labels sent to poison center). Also, the specific instructions present on the label do not appear to adequately capture the potential dangers of hydrofluoric acid exposure. They state that after skin exposure, one should “Flush with water. Remove contaminated clothing.” It does not state that skin/inhalation exposure can be potentially life threatening. It also does not state that care should be sought for inhalation/skin exposure. There are various potential therapeutic options that would be available such as the administration of calcium gluconate. Encouraging consumers to seek care could also ensure proper follow up with a hand surgeon when appropriate to prevent further morbidity. Also, the product lists “rubber gloves” as appropriate protection for the use of this product. Latex gloves would not be adequate and further guidance on appropriate protection is not listed. The patient in question was transported to a higher level of care and treated with invasive procedures that carry serious risks. The decision regarding transfer and to perform these procedures would have been better informed if the product were properly labeled. The Carolinas Poison Center discussed this case with the director of the UNC Burn Center as well as the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. All involved parties involved are in agreement that further action should be taken to prevent this from happening to future consumers.
