Hurt, no treatment Made Jun 12, 2011, published by CPSC Jul 5, 2011
The product, in the report: Odorknockout. Used to remove bad odors, in homes, hotels, cars, etc...
This Odorknockout product was given to me by a car dealership to remove a cigarette smoke smell in a used car i just bought. They assured me that this product was able to get the smell out and this is what they used to get out the bad smells in vehicles(why mine was not done before i bought it is beyond me). I used the product on a Thursday night which was two nights after i bought the car. The directions clearly stated to add 2oz of lukewarm water to the plastic container with a white pouch in it, return the lid, and shake for ten seconds. It then says to run you air for approx. ten to fifteen minutes before actually opening the can and allowing it to sit in your car and do its job. It did say to leave the area for “not less than two hours” after opening the can and setting it in the car and to allow it to air out before getting into it again. Well i read the directions and did exactly as they stated and everything was ok until i started shaking the can after adding the water. I shook it for about five seconds and the can starting fizzing and it blew the top off, a yellow looking smoke/gas was coming from the can. My nose felt like it was on fire, my eyes burned severly so that they were watered up and i could not see, and i could not have breathed in a breath to save my life as my throat burned severly and my lungs felt paralyzed. I soon found out that this was in fact chlorine gas being released which of course can be deadly in the proper concentrations. I work in a lab around pure hydrochloric acid and have not ever been overcome by anything like this stuff got me. I have been around pure bleach and believe me this was much stronger. The next thing i did was gagged for a while when i could finally catch my breath and got inside and ran to get into the shower. I got to feeling better after i got out of the shower. The next day i coughed a lot but still did not feel i needed to go to the doctor. I did notice something that got my attention the next day though, my hand had brown burns on them where i had the can and it got on my fingers. I also had one spot on my nose and some on my left had where it sprayed out when the top blew off. I also had a very nice pair of clothes ruined by this stuff bleaching them out. I did what i thought was best and called the office of the manufacturer of the product and was told that i should have never shaken it with the top on it. I told him that both his directions and the website video on how to use it say to shake with the lid on it. The last thing i heard him say was i need to learn to follow directions as he hung up on me. This stuff could hurt somebody, and to make matters worse, there was not a single warning that i found as to how dangerous this stuff actually is. I would think there needs to be warnings all over this stuff after what it did to me. It seems that this stuff is readily available to be purchased by anybody of any age. I was lucky enough to know what to do when it happened due to my lab experience and training. I hope that this helps and in the very least that this company has to put an MSDS or a warning label on this dangerous product. The website is www.odorknockout.com. Thanks.
