  1. Seen by a doctor or nurse

    Made Nov 9, 2021, sent to the company Nov 15, 2021, published by CPSC Nov 30, 2021

    The product, in the report: Method Dish Soap - Clementine Scent UPC Code: 817939 00735 8 Stamp on bottle 1728598 532 ml./ 18 fl.oz.

    Last winter, I began getting severe rash on my hand. It progressed to cracking of my skin & bleeding of the cracks on my fingers. This continued until last month when I decided to research the “safety data sheets” for ingredients contained in the soap. I was appalled to find “methylisothiazolinone” listed in the hazardous category. It is known to cause the very problem I suffered from. I am surprised at this finding because the manufacturer, “Method” cites that its products use “non-toxic, plant-based, Power Green technology”.
