The product, in the report: Bounce
My neighbor was using Scented Fabric Softener sheets and since their dryer exhaust is next to my front door, which was open at the time, the fumes entered and permeated throughout my home. I had difficulty breathing, my eyes turned very red and were burning. Subsequently, I awoke in the middle of the night with severe Vertigo. Upon arising in the morning, I had to hold on to the walls to walk as I was dizzy, nauseous and very sleepy (I always wake up full of energy and bounce out of bed so this was very unusual for me). Unfortunately I was supposed to have surgery that day and the doctor had to cancel due to my reaction. I made an emergency visit to my Internist, and took an allergy pill (Allegra) and within an hour and a half of taking the pill, I was fine.
I then Googled the “dryer sheets and dizziness” and was shocked to see the extreme toxicity of these products. I had the symptoms they listed as well.
It is appalling that this product has been approved. Whenever I walk in my neighborhood, I have to hold a tissue up to my nose because there are so many exhausts spewing out this poison into the air as I pass by. I’m sure I’m not the only one reacting like this. People who have a general feeling of malaise (not as bad as mine) may just have no clue as to why they are not feeling well.
