Hurt, no treatment Made Apr 6, 2013, sent to the company Apr 15, 2013, published by CPSC Apr 29, 2013
The product, in the report: Most laundry products found on the shelves of grocery stores today, including Sun Products Corp’s products such as Snuggle, Sun, Sunlight, and Surf.
I was prevented by this form from mentioning both manufacturers. The last complaint mentions Procter & Gamble. This one mentions Sun Products Corporation.
The new fragranced laundry products are putting serious restrictions on my quality of life. I can’t go anywhere near the laundry aisle of grocery stores, I can’t be around someone who has used these fragranced laundry products, and worst of all--I am often locked inside a closed house because of my neighbors using these fragranced laundry products.
What happens to me when I breathe these intolerably strong-smelling products for even a short time is the following: pain in the nose and sore throat; sinus pain; headache; difficulty breathing; nausea; swollen tongue, throat, and fingers; and finally confusion.
I am a normal, healthy person. I don’t have multiple chemical sensitivities.
When my neighbors are doing laundry I have to hold my breath to take out the garbage, to pick up my mail, to get to my car. The substances fill up my garage and then leak into my house. I can not enjoy my yard or open my windows. The times I am able to breathe fresh air are rare and unpredictable.
I have recently found out through surfing the Internet that only perhaps 1 in 25 of these fragrance users will respond positively to a neighbor who tells them what the fragrances do to them. The rest simply continue to use the products: commercials have convinced them they will smell bad if they don’t. I have also discovered that this is now a national problem: more than 1 out of 10 people are suffering from these odors all across America.
There are no laws or ordinances anywhere against the use of these substances, though there are laws against the same types of odors and chemicals coming from industrial facilities.
Please investigate this problem. The FDA has refused to protect us and the companies making these products have paid their own scientists to write favorable reports for them. Additionally, the companies will not stop using this high-power fragrances as long as their competitors are using them. There is adequate scientific information available, however, concerning the toxic hazards of these products. There are neurotoxins and carcinogens with no safe levels being pumped out of peoples’ dryer vents and into other people’s yards, as well as people wearing clothes impregnated with these chemicals.
Concerning laundry dryer sheets, for example, see [REDACTED] research at the University of Washington. http://www.drsteinemann.com/obtain_the_article.html
Please do something to protect the many Americans from physical harm who are either using these products, ignorant of their effects, or being harmed by their neighbors’ use of them.
