Seen by a doctor or nurse Made Mar 14, 2011, published by CPSC Jul 1, 2011
The product, in the report: Stainless Steel Magic household cleaner.
I cleaned my stainless steel sink with Stainless Steel Magic. My kitchen, dinning room, living room area is aprox. 700 sq. ft. At 3:30 in the afternoon I was walking with a friend. I told her my chest felt heavy and I was having a hard time taking a deep breath as the day progressed I felt worse. The next morning 10-19-2010, I made an appointment with my doctor. I was very uncomfortable taking a deep breath and felt very weak. I showed my doctor the cleaner I used. She asked her nurse to call the Magic American Corp emergency number that was on the can. The nurse asked if there was any petroleum in their product. The person told her there was not, yet right on the can it says petroleum distillates. The nurse then called the poison control center. They called the doctors office back 3 times to check on how I was doing. My doctor listened to my heart which was beating rapidly, took blood pressure, took blood, asked me to blow into a devise 3 times, she said I had the breath of a 90 year old. I am 64. She did an EKG, the top part of my heart was beating out of sync with the bottom part of my heart. She did two chest x-rays which showed the bottom part of my lungs were burned. She ordered a steroid iv drip.
I have never had any problems with my lungs or heart. Previous to this I took a brisk half hour walk 5 days a week. It took me until just recently to be able to walk at my normal brisk walking speed. I would like to go back to the doctor to make sure my lungs are healed but can’t afford to with the bill I already have.
I would like to make sure no one else uses this product. If someone already has a breathing problem this product could be extremely harmful to them if not fatal. I have $5,000 deductable insurance, I think the company should pay my doctor bill of $496.62.
