A 39-year-old woman was driving her car through an intersection when she was struck and killed by a 23-year-old man who had inhaled Dust-Off. The man survived, along with his 5- year-old daughter and another passenger who were in the vehicle with him. A news article about this crash can be found here: [REDACTED] The 39-year-old's father filed a lawsuit against Falcon Safety Products, Inc. and Walmart on November 13, 2020. The case was scheduled to go to trial on November 13, 2023 but the case settled on October 31, 2023.

The consumer indicates that she sprayed her insecticide and did so at such angle where it accidentally got on two of her fingers. Approximately an hour later, the same two fingers went numb for between five to ten minutes. Shortly after her face and mouth went numb and she was unable to speak for about fifteen seconds. Two days later the consumer went to the Doctor but was informed that too much time had passed to be able to treat it; she was also told keep notes about how she has been feeling. The numbness feeling has been coming and going for the past three weeks and lasts variable times as well as affects different areas of her right side of her body. 09/21/2022 – The consumer went to the Doctor and was informed that her lower right lung has started spasm. The consumer states that she used the unit once inside her home and once outside her home. The consumer plans on keeping the insecticide spray for at least the next thirty days in case an investigation ensues.

I purchased "Vacplus Moisture Absorber Packets, Fragrance Free (10 Pack), Humidity Packs, Hanging Closet Dehumidifier Bags, Desiccant 9.8OZ (Nickname: VA-M158)" on Amazon. The product page lists the Seller as "Vacplus-BAYL" and states the product to be shipped by Amazon. When I received the product from Amazon, I was confused and became concerned. The product label does not tell me what the products is. I'm not sure how to handle and use the product . I'm also concerned about using the product safely because the label does not include any first aid information or tell me what steps to take if an accident occurs in my home or with my kids. I am not sure if this product is safe for my kids. The label states the product is not edible, but the product is small and capable of being ingested easily (either by eating or drinking), and I'm not sure what steps I need to take if one of my kids were to ingest these chemicals. I'm also not sure if the product is safe for the environment or what I should do to handle the product or discard the chemicals after use. The front label does not have a Signal Word or any affirmative statement of the principal hazards. I'm not sure how hazardous the chemicals are inside the product or on its packaging. I am unsure how to contact for further information about the product because the label does not tell me the name of manufacturer, and I'm not sure where the business is located. The sole information about the business appears in Chinese characters on the Amazon product listing. There is nothing on the label about who makes, sells or distributes the products in the United States. This product is defective and its label is unacceptable. The product is misbranded. The product label does not have a Signal Word and lacks all conspicuous warnings about potential product hazards. The label lacks proper warnings on both the front and back of the product. The label is also misleading and deceptive because there is no way for anyone to cont

Dear [REDACTED]: I'm writing about your product STEM. What a horrible product. Your advertising says "safe for kids and pets". Your directions do say "safe anywhere in the home" and warns "slippery when wet" on the front and rear labels. But these don't cover how dangerous this product is. Let me start by saying I am handicapped with severe mobility issues and I am at high risk for Covid, so all my groceries are delivered. I bought STEM because the store did not have [REDACTED]. What I wanted it for, was to spray around baseboards and on the exit door steps to get any bugs before they crawl into the house. [REDACTED] is a superior product. On Tuesday July 26, I sprayed STEM around the baseboard in my first floor half­bath since I had seen one stray carpenter ant on the ceramic tile floor. The smell is almost overpoweringly offensive, so I left the exhaust fan running for days. On Thursday, I checked the bathroom and saw the STEM had not dried, and I could see wet puddles around the baseboard. I tried soaking those up with paper towels, not an easy task, but I used my cane to push the paper towels along the floor. When I had a visitor on Friday July 29, she thought the floor was too slippery, and she mopped it with a [REDACTED]. The fan was still running as the smell from the STEM was still offensive. By Tuesday August 2, the floor felt dry to the touch but slick. I tried it with the tip of my rubber-soled shoes, and it was still slippery. My friend came to visit again on Friday August 5. She scrubbed the door with dish liquid - it cuts grease. The floor is ok now. That downstairs bathroom was out of commission for over a week. I'm glad I have other bathrooms on the second floor, and a Stairlift to be able to go upstairs, although what used to be a quick trip to the restroom had become a 20 minute journey. I am also very glad I did not use STEM anywhere else in the house. Most of the first floor has ceramic tile floors, particularly at the exit doors, so I w

Dear CPSC, I am writing to report a safety concern regarding a product marketed as a whipped cream charger under the brand name "Galaxy Gas." Although this product is intended for culinary use, it is increasingly being misused as a recreational inhalant. This misuse appears to be facilitated by the products design, specifically the "Pressure Release Valve," which may be being used to directly inhale the gas. There are numerous videos online showcasing this dangerous behavior, which suggests that the product may pose a significant risk to consumer health. The potential for harm (as far as I am aware) includes asphyxiation, neurological damage, and other serious health risks associated with inhalant abuse. Given the growing evidence of misuse and the associated risks, I believe an investigation is necessary to determine whether the products design and marketing are contributing to this hazardous behavior. I urge the CPSC to review this matter to ensure that the product is safe for its intended use and that any necessary actions are taken to protect consumers. Thank you for your attention to this serious issue. Sincerely, [REDACTED] - A concerned consumer

On July 10 of this year, I reported this product for sale on Amazon, on CPSC report #Report No. [REDACTED]. I just ran across your email confirmation of my report and looked at the Amazon site again. The product is still for sale, still with ZERO safety warnings, as required. I tried reporting to Amazon without success. After 3 tries (supposedly my reviews did not meet their community guidelines, but they did not say which guideline or why), my review was finally posted. According to other reviews, this material has been sold to individuals who knew nothing of its toxic hazards, and no safety information was or is provided. Being a carcinogen, a teratogen, a mutagen, a respiratory sensitizer, a skin sensitizer, and a strong oxidizer, it is essential that appropriate safety information be provided. Despite several reviews citing the hazards and risks, this company chooses to ignore public safety. Despite CPSC's communication to the company on 7/12, the Amazon web page still has no safety information.

(08/14/2020) The consumer stated that her husband had a reaction to the product. He sprayed the product inside of his swim goggles and went swimming for about an hour. When he took the goggles off, his eyes were burning. He washed his eyes out with water, but in the middle of the night, his eyes were still burning. The consumer stated that she called the Poison Control Center who advised her to go to the ER. When they got to the ER, her husband's eyes were sealed shut and had to be forced open. The chemicals in the defogger caused a corneal abrasion on her husband's right eye. The consumer stated that her husband has used the product before but never under water. The consumer also stated that the warning on the label states that the product is not recommended for swim goggles.

I called poison control after my 7 year old son ingested "Color your fire magical flames" that he was given in a 4th of july parade. Everything else given to kids was candy. This was mixed in his candy bag. The product packaging looks like "pop rocks" and the product looks like sugar crystal blue pop rocks. There are other similar flame color for fires all in similar packets to children's candy. The packet is easily opened by children think it is candy.
