The product, in the report: WEIS Super Market Brand Fabric Refresher Aerosal Spray
February IS, 2018 U. S. Food and Drug Administration I 0903 New Hampshire Avenue Silver Spring, MD 20993
RE: CHEMICAL IN AEROSOL SPRAY FOR HOME USE
To whom this issue may concern:
The chemical I refer to is DMDM HYDANTOIN (a formaldehyde releaser) listed as an ingredient in an aerosol fabric refresher purchased in our supermarket, WEIS Supermarket label.
According to my online research, this chemical is added to hair and skin products, lotions, etc. But 1 can find no information for its use in an aerosol form. I did find that it is a “formaldehyde releaser”. This doesn’t sound like a chemical that should be airborne.
This is what happened: I used a “fabric refresher” aerosol spray that emitted a fine mist, on a spot on my carpet and bed. When I used it {for the first time) I was struck with difficulty breathing within a few minutes of its use. This was February 3.
I am still dealing with the after-effects of using this spray and am determining whether or not permanent damage has been done. Have you or any other government or private enterprise studied the use of this chemical in its aerosol form? I can find no studies related to the aerosol application.
Have many such studies been conducted?
I eagerly await your answer and any information re this chemical, as I struggle to deal with the fact I do not breath as well today, as I did the day before, or the hour before., using this product.
Thank you. [REDACTED]
