The product, in the report: timed wall air freshener
On the morning of November 27, 2011, after a workout at The Salvation Army Ray & Joan Kroc Corps Community Center in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, my son and I were in one of the changing rooms, changing into street clothes, when the air freshener on the wall-presumably on a timer-discharged. That enclosed space was instantly filled with an overly sweet, flowery scent. Now, I know this stuff doesn’t adversly effect everyone, but it does me. I experienced an immediate headache, a burning sensation in my throat and an overwhelming, frightening sense that it was dangerous for me to breath. Nearly dressed, I was able to open the door and step out of that suddenly very inhospitable space. The headache lasted for over an hour, but other symptoms stayed with me four days or more-malaise and fatigue. I’d had the same reaction to the Center’s air freshener months before. In both instances I immediately complained to staff people, but after the more recent incident, I followed up with an e-mail to the director of the facility, [REDACTED], whose eventual response was that the “consultant” with JanSan had reassured him of the product’s safety, claiming that this air freshener is, in fact, the industry standard, widely used, with only minor complaints: now and then the scent, apparently, is not pleasing to everyone. [REDACTED], being a trusting soul, apparently, was totally pursuaded. Thousands of people use this facility. I, obViously, recognize the hazard and will take precautions. But what about all the others-the kids, especially-who don’t know and are thus exposed, uninformed and totally vulnerable? Adverse reaction or not, many, many people are at risk in visiting this very popular facility. And because of that, I urge that somethin be done.
