The product, in the report: Bathroom cleaner
I was using an almost new 25-ounce can of Scrubbing Bubbles to clean a bathtub in our home, when the spray-cap top separated from the can and the can fell straight down onto my foot, with the bottom can rim contacting my foot and causing injury. I took photos of my injury and visited my doctor, who directed me to another facility to have X-rays taken.

The product, in the report: Cleaning product
Consumer is reporting that the cleaning product she used may present a health hazard. She stated that she used the cleaning product in the bathroom for awhile and after that she developed a cough. (12/2016) She stated that she reported the problem to the company but no one responded. No medical attention was received as yet. I am still dealing with a bad cough so have a doctor appointment on 3/8/2017.
The following was extracted from caller’s email... I traveled to my elderly mother’s home to spend Christmas with my family. To help my mom, I took a can of Scrubbing Bubbles with me so I could clean her bathroom for her. I scrubbed for quite a while using the Scrubbing Bubbles and when I was done noticed a scratchy tickle in my throat. I started to cough. The coughing got worse and I had trouble sleeping that night. I woke up the next day, Christmas Eve, with a sick headache and still coughing. I decided I must be getting sick and did not want my elderly mom to get sick so decided to travel back to my home. When I got home, I felt so horrible, I curled up on the sofa, was there all night long and couldn’t bring myself to move until about 1:30pm the next day, Christmas day.
I started wondering why I had gotten so sick, so fast so started searching the internet regarding the fumes created by using Scrubbing Bubbles. I found that Scrubbing Bubbles is one of the most toxic products on the market. This information is on the internet so I am sure this is information you are aware of.
My question is why are you still making and selling this crap? It seems to me this is another example of a company putting profits before the safety of their consumers. Most consumers blindly trust products on the market to be tested and safe. People put their trust in companies like yours.
I am still suffering from a horrible cough and headache but my main concern is the long term effects of what this product has done to my lungs.
