The product, in the report: Borax 20 Mule Team Detergent
I ordered a box of Borax from Amazon along with other supplies to make laundry detergent. It was supplied by the company Henkel. Most items arrived promptly but the Borax was delayed. I received a package several days later from [REDACTED] (not Amazon) and I was unsure what it was, there was no labeling besides the shipping label. When I tore the shipping box open, Borax was spilled out and an enormous cloud of it dusted me in the face. My eyes burned viciously and I couldnt see. My nose was filled and burned. I was home alone with my two toddlers during this incident, making my options very minimal. This was excruciating and terrifying. I almost had no choice but to go to the ER but finally started to get relief after 10 minutes of flushing my face with the water hose in my front yard. Id like to request that this company be held responsible for their poor packaging and lack of labeling. I feel that the Borax box should have been sealed in a bag with proper labeling or a visual of the product through the plastic. My toddlers couldve gotten ahold of that box just as easily as me as they usually help me open my mail. Please let me know if theres anything I can do to ensure this is fixed and doesnt happen to anyone else. Thank you.
