I purchased a chemical consumer product (glue) on Amazon. The item has no list of ingredients or MSDS on the packaging or the company website. Amazon also does not list ingredients or MSDS on their website. Given this is a chemical I am concerned about this. I notified Amazon and received no response, and returned the product without using it. Here is a link to the product on Amazon's site: [REDACTED]

I am concerned that the manufacturer is not properly listing CPSC/GHS hazard warning information on the labels. This product can be purchased from TEMU. This product is a UV resin that is advertised to be used for DIY art, jewelry, table top and molds.

A small drop fell onto my pant leg. The product was listed as non toxic. It started smoking and burning immediately. The product burned my skin and left chemical burn. Luckily it was a small amount but it hurt a lot. It left a blister

I began using Krazy Glue to construct a complicated model after the “technical expert” on the product information line explained that the glue cannot harm skin. The glue contacted my hands as I was using it and it wrinkled my skin. My skin also turned bright red in certain places and it feels drier now. I saw numerous doctors for treatment, but there seems to be no cure for the skin wrinkling, residual redness, and dryness. The damage is permanent. I have contacted the company many times since the incident occurred. Unfortunately, the company only seems interested in making false claims of dermatological safety, giving me the run around, or ignoring me. Even after sending detailed information about the problem and the dangers of the product, the company only shows disdain for the consumer and does not show any concern for customer health or safety in this matter. My own analysis of this product leads me to believe the skin dangers of this product are mostly related to high strength contraction upon curing and possibly uneven curing. These factors may be the primary causes of the dangers of this product previously mentioned. Elmer’s has acted unethically in this matter by deceiving me about the safety of the product, misrepresenting expertise on the product, and not taking an interest in health or safety regarding this matter. This unethical conduct reflects poorly on Elmer’s Products Inc. and also its parent company, the Berwind Corporation.

Re: Serious and Dangerous Product Packaging defect. Dear Sir/Madam, I recently purchased the "5 Second Fix" which is Distributed by OnTel, in Faifield NJ 07004. The package came with no damage to the outer packaging. Also the sealed plastic package, which contains the glue and the UV light (as one unit), was also undamaged. However, when I cut open the plastic package the glue poured out onto my hands. I quickly washed my hands but I still got a rash from this glue. The plastic package contains a folded small sheet of paper (8" X 6") which includes several warnings including a First Aid warning, all of which describe the glue as being a cancer and birth defect causing chemical which is a strong irritant that may require a physician's attention, and that it should be kept out of reach of children. The problem is that there is no possible way to know that the adhesive leaked out inside the plastic packaging until one opens it. The warning notation on the outside of the package is partially covered up by a product label which prevents it to be read. Apparently, the plastic cap that holds the adhesive inside the unit while it is still in its plastic package can easily become loose during shipping thus causing the adhesive to leak out. Yet there is no possible way to know that the adhesive leaked out as it is clear just like the plastic package. This is a very hazardous situation especially if a child opens the package as it is heavily advertised on TV. Personally, I think the product should be recalled and several safety measure should be introduced. One could be a stronger seal on the part of the unit that holds the adhesive. Another could be to make the adhesive a different color so that one knows that the adhesive leaked out during shipping. It would be a great public service if you could bring this to the public's attention. Sincerely [REDACTED]

This product is supposed to be used for repairs but it smells toxic and the fumes burn my skin and eyes. It caused hives all over my body which required hospitalization and an intense headache, nausea and chills. I checked the MSDS and the product labels and they actually don't match , which makes their information untrustworthy. I believe that due to the strong physical reactions i experienced from using this product, that this product is highly toxic and should not be for home use. This brands products should be recalled and all sales stopped immediately due to safety defect concerns. On top of everything else, their packaging isn't even child proof or state to keep out of the reach of children. A child could easily get into this product and eat it or get on their skin and become hospitalized or even worse.

The consumer purchased new carpet and laminate flooring in his home in April 2020. He has filed 5 separate reports on the 5 products installed since he had adverse health reactions to one of them, but has no way to prove which one it is. Within approximately 4 – 6 months after installation, the consumer began to experience adverse health symptoms. He first began to wake up with the skin around his eyes swollen. This started happening every night. This led to an intense burning sensation in the skin around the right eye. 10/2020: He developed intense coughing and wheezing, and his eye problem persisted at all times day and night, being worse in the morning after sleeping in the house. His vision went from 20/20 to 20/40 after the persistent swelling around his eyes caused trauma induced astigmatism, eventually forcing him to have to purchase corrective glasses. His symptoms improve when he is away from the home, meaning that the cause of the irritation is coming from within the house. He has to rinse his eyes before leaving the home or the burning sensation around his right eye will linger for hours. NOTE: He also had the home painted around the same time. The consumer contacted the paint manufacturer [REDACTED] and reported the problem to them. They sent him a list of ingredients (MSD Sheets). The paint company also paid for a home indoor air quality test. High levels of ethanol were discovered, but the company who conducted the testing, could not tell him where it was coming from. The paint company did however confirm that the paint products in question did not contain ethanol. The consumer contacted the flooring underlayment company-manufacturer, but they would not take responsibility for the matter and did not offer any assistance with resolving the matter. The consumer was repeatedly told that since he had numerous materials installed around the same time that none of the companies would admit even the possibility of their product being the cause of his health i

The fire marshall says a contractor was applying adhesive on roof with his assistant. The fire marshall says there was a static spark when the assistant heard a pop. when he turned around the roofing contractor applying the substrate was enguled in flames. The fire went out on its own. The fire marshall says that there were vapors hovering over the adhesive and the container was still enflamed. The fire marshall determined it was a "flash fire". The fire marshall says that based on his investigating the area, there was no other possible source of ignition. The consumer was not injured and did not need any medical attention. The contractor contacted the manufacturer's representative who offered no suggestions to resolve the issue with the can. the fire marshall believes that this product is mostly commercial but can be purchased by anyone.
