Please see the attached letter for a description of my experience and supporting documentation.
To whom it may concern,
I recently had a painful and scary incident happen while using Jaws Quick Spit product. I am writing you today to share my experience with the hopes that this information can help make changes to the product, package labeling and brand management to ensure a safer consumer experience for others.
I bought at bottle of Quick Spit on September 4, 2014 from Swim Outlet (receipt and pictures of bottle are included below) and have been using the product to defog my swim goggles. On October 5, 2016 I was competing in a one mile open water swim race. I sprayed the product inside the lenses of my swim goggles and rinsed them before the race. About a minute into the race I felt both eyes start to burn and my vision blur. After exiting the water the pain and blurriness continued to get worse to the point that I could no longer open my eyes. I got help from my fellow swimmers to find the bottle and followed the directions to flush my eyes for 15-20 minutes with fresh water. After an hour of flushing my eyes I was still in excruciating pain and could not open my eyes. At this point, we made the decision to go to the Emergency Room.
In the ER I went through a painful process of having my eyes flushed for an extended period of time to ensure all chemicals were removed from my eyes. After that, a doctor gave me an eye examination and determined I had corneal abrasions on both eyes. To provide me the proper care the ER nurses and doctors searched the product website, MSDS and poison control to figure out what chemicals were in the product however, they were not able to locate them anywhere. After a consult with an ophthalmologist without any additional information about the product, they taped my eyes shut, put me on pain medications and antibiotics and sent me home.
I was not able to open my eyes for three days and as a result was out of work for two days and relied on care from my husband and friends to perform basic functions. I was in excruciating pain for the first three days with little relief even while taking strong pain medications. When I was able to start opening my eyes again I had extreme blurriness, light sensitivity and constant scratchiness in my eyes. Along with an expensive eight hour ER visit, I’ve had three follow-up doctor’s visits and medications to add to the expense so far and I’m still recovering.
For a product that is intended for surfaces so close to the eye and that is advertised as “natural” and “ECO friendly and non-toxic” I’m very surprised that this happened to me. Also, I find it unacceptable that there is no additional information on the main chemicals in the product. Without an understanding of what was in the product the ER doctor and my ophthalmologist were guessing about the best course of treatment. After wondering if this has happened to anyone else, I’ve spent time reading reviews of the product. Unfortunately there are many other people that have experienced the same thing as me. In the negative reviews on Amazon you can read about many others to which this has happened. The DC Tri Club blog is another example of consumers with the same issues.
Again, my hope is that you take this issue and situation seriously and take the appropriate measures to ensure that your product and consumers are safe. It has been a very painful and expensive process.
Sincerely, [REDACTED]
