Emergency room Made Apr 29, 2014, sent to the company May 7, 2014, published by CPSC May 28, 2014
The product, in the report: The exact product in question is Clorox Greenworks laundry detergent marked as 2x concentrated, in a 162 fluid ounce size. The UPC is 44600-30364. It also has what I presume to be a batch number stamped above the Greenworks logo on the back which reads KC23041143.
Several weeks ago, I washed my clothes immediately after one of my housemates had used Clorox Greenworks 96%. I ended up with significant inflammation on my back that looked like an allergic reaction, but didn’t respond to antihistamines or other typical allergy treatments. I made the mistake of not throwing out the detergent (but warning all of my housemates not to use it.) On 4-26-2014, I washed my clothes again, apparently immediately after a houseguest had unknowningly used the greenworks detergent.
All of my skin that was exposed to clothing washed in that batch broke out, severely. After several days, although OTC topical hydrocortisone had helped reduce the inflammation (it didn’t react to antihistamines or other typical medications used to treat IgE mediated allergic reactions,) I ended up going to an urgent care clinic today after several of the lesions began to blister (including one on my penile head.) They prescribed oral prednisone, a strong topical steroid, and [REDACTED] to deal with the pain of the blistering, and described it as a likely chemical burn.
I’ve began to follow up with Clorox but given that other anecdotal reports of similar reactions appear on the internet, decided it was a necessary thing to submit a report here as well. The exact product in question is Clorox Greenworks laundry detergent marked as 2x concentrated, in a 162 fluid ounce size. The UPC is 44600-30364. It also has what I presume to be a batch number stamped above the Greenworks logo on the back which reads KC23041143.
I have previously suffered minor reactions to artificial dyes used in margarita mixes and suffered minor reactions to certain detergents when I was under 12 (more than 13 years ago,) but other than that have no record of allergies of this nature.
