The product, in the report: Consumer Relations Department Reckitt Benckiser LLC Parsippany, NJ 07054 Subject: Product Complaint Air Wick Air Freshener Causing Vehicle Damage Dear Consumer Relations, I am writing to formally report damage caused by one of your Air Wick products and to request compensation for the resulting loss. On 9/1/25, I accidentally spilled some Air Wick LAVENDER on the center console of my 2015 [REDACTED]. I immediately wiped it up, but by the following day the consoles finish had bubbled and peeled, as if a paint remover had been applied. The liquid clearly acted as a solvent, damaging the vehicles interior permanently. Details of the incident: Product name & fragrance: AIR WICK LAVENDER Lot number/expiration date (from packaging): SEE PHOTO Date of purchase: 05/25 Location of purchase: PUBLIX DELRAY BEACH, FL Description of damage: The SPILLED air freshener dissolved the finish on my vehicles console, leaving bubbled and discolored areas. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT INHALING SUCH, MY PHYSICIAN IS CONCERNED AS WELL Vehicle involved: 2015 [REDACTED], black interior. I am attaching photographs documenting the damage. Given the nature of this damage and the fact that it occurred under normal consumer use, I believe the product poses a material hazard to property. I respectfully request reimbursement for the cost of repairs or a reasonable settlement to cover the damage to my vehicle.

Seen by a doctor or nurse Made Mar 16, 2023, sent to the company Mar 21, 2023, published by CPSC Apr 5, 2023
The product, in the report: Air wick, usually plugged into power socket to dispense the oil.
My wife was constantly having headache without any trace by doctor. She still hard the same issue when we moved to a new apartment and at that point I looked at what was related and what I could noticed was the Air Wick. I asked her to remove all the product from the socket about 3month ago and I noticed all the stuff she was complaining on have suddenly disappeared. I do not know if its related to my son’s partial autism but your investigation will determine that.
