The company’s comments, in its own words

(4/9/2012) Iron Out dba Summit Brands: Re: 20120328-DEFD2-1240424
We have received and reviewed the complaint (document #20120328-DEFD2-1240424) concerning our product Super Iron Out. We appreciate this information so that we can make more informed decisions regarding labeling, packing and conveying information to the consumer to continuously improve on product consumer safety.
We would like to note that this product has undergone our routine Consumer Product Safety evaluation to ensure that it is properly labeled and packaged pursuant to all applicable CPSC regulations. Although this product is not particularly toxic, it does create vapors when mixed with water. The product label specifically states: “CAUTION….Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapors after mixing with water. Persons with respiratory problems or sulfite sensitivity should not use this product as vapors may result in breathing difficulty.”
Based on the description of the complaint, it is very likely that there was little to no ventilation and that the consumer did not read the hazard warnings on the bottle. When our customer service team works with consumers, we constantly emphasize the importance of reading all information on the label to properly and safely utilize this product. In addition, we have taken steps to improve the safety of this product through reformulation efforts. We are in the final stages of testing and hope to have an improved and safer formulation in the near future. Consumer safety is important to us and we take it very seriously.
