Hurt, no treatment Made Jun 10, 2022, sent to the company Jun 16, 2022, published by CPSC Jul 1, 2022
The product, in the report: Miracle Cleaning Eraser. White foam. One ingredient listed: Melamine. But that, based on what I have read, is untrue. The melamine is bound into a foam with formaldehyde.
Used “Miracle Cleaning Eraser” [manufactured by BASF, sold by WalMart] with brake parts cleaner [manufacturer unknown, sold by Advance Auto Parts] to scrub away material that had accumulated on brake caliper slide pin. Noticed “interesting” odor; felt no pain. Within one hour, when pumping gasoline, realized that my sense of smell had been compromised: experienced that “interesting” smell instead of smelling the gasoline. Since then, I have not smelled that interesting smell. Instead, I have a very limited and inconsistent ability to smell ordinary odors, plus many ordinary odors trigger a nasty smell that corresponds to no real thing. The can of brake parts cleaner says it contains tetrachloroethylene. The box of cleaning easers does not say that the product contains formaldehyde, which will release HCl (hydrochloric acid) when mixed with tetrachloroethylene. There is a warning not to use with chlorine bleach, but that warning is not in the section with the cautions concerning bodily harm. There is a very good chance that my sense of smell is permanently damaged—not just lost but perverted, because common odors such as flowers induce that nasty smell.
