The product, in the report: Fels Naptha a laundry stain remover bar of soap. Used to remove stains and grease from clothes
I had a bar of Fels Naptha and I used it to scrub out a stain from a shirt, when I got done with everything an hour later I noticed (via brushing fingers against something) I had burns on two fingers. I realized I had a chemical burn on my middle finger and ring finger of my left hand from scrubbing the Fels Naptha on my clothes. I called the company and I was given the run around. I even told the lady who worked in the medical department of the company I could send her pictures of it because 3 days later and Im still wearing [bandages] due to the tender raw-feeling skin. I tried to call the corporate headquarters and I was told by a very rude women “we dont want to hear it we will send you to customer service” who by the way is in INDIA and the Philipines.
This product is UNSAFE and will CAUSE harm if you do not wear gloves when using it.
