The product, in the report: I have attached photos of the product front and back
I used OxiClean carpet and area rug stain remover as directed. The odor was so overpowering I needed to open all windows and run an inside air purifier. The odor was very acrid, caused headaches and lingered for an entire week. I had to air out the house the entire week and when I entered the house after leaving, the smell was overwhelming. To me it was dangerous, particularly if I had any kind of respiratory issues.
