The product, in the report: Free and Clear Liquid Laundry Detergent 100 oz
I purchased Everspring Free And Clear Liquid Laundry Detergent from the Lakeville MN Target store. I used it for the first time on January 8, approximately 2 days after purchasing. It was my first experience using this product. The bottle was extremely full, and the way the bottle and the measuring cap are designed, it was impossible to pour without spilling some over the sides and some got on my hand. I washed my hands immediately, but no matter how much I tried, this product left a tacky, gummy, sticky residue which spread to both hands from washing them together. It won’t come off. It’s been 10 days and I have washed my hands countless times. I’ve tried hand soap, [REDACTED] dish soap, alcohol wipes, vegetable oil, baby oil, and hand lotion, and nothing has helped. I contacted Target as they are the manufacturer and they told me they had no guidance for this product and advised me to contact my health care provider. When I did so she suggested I call Poison Control. They both suggested the same strategies I mentioned above. I contacted a physician when the problem had not improved within a week and he laughed and then said he’d never heard of something like this, and said I could just keep doing what I’m doing and eventually within a month my skin will replace itself and the problem should go away. In the meantime, my hands are constantly sticky, especially when my skin is warm. This sticky residue also transfers from my hands to other objects or to other areas of my skin. I try not to touch anything at all unless absolutely necessary, but even incidental contact transfers this sticky residue to my arms, my neck, and my face while I am sleeping. It transfers to my phone when I use it, so I am trying not to touch anything if I don’t have to. This is causing me a lot of anxiety because I don’t know why this is happening or what it is or how to make it go away. I have been doing laundry with various detergents all my life and nothing like this has ever happened before. I’ve never heard of it happening to anyone else. I’m concerned that this product may have been tampered with but I have no way of knowing. I placed the bottle in a plastic bag and put it out in the garage but I don’t want to touch it again. This is not painful but it is extremely annoying and uncomfortable and I interferes with my ability to do everyday activities without compounding the problem. I don’t know if this substance is harmful. I had to throw away the towels that I washed with this product. I have health related anxiety and sensory hyper awareness so this issue is very distressing for me. I wish someone would test this product to see what is in it that is causing this bizarre effect. It is like a polymer or a varnish or something that is not water or oil soluble. Getting a splash of laundry detergent on your skin should not be this problematic.
