I sent a similar write-up to the Finish Corporate Offices, but this is what happened: Monday night, 09/14/20, I was loading the dishwasher and using Finish Quantum Powerball pods. Two of them were stuck together and when I went to pull them apart, the blue and red liquid pods burst and went into my left eye. I called my brother, who is an internal medicine doctor, and he had me rinse my eyes out immediately for about 20 minutes turning my eye in various directions. After I did that, he had me put a patch on my eye and every 15 minutes put saline solution in it, since he wanted to get the PH level back up. After about 2 1/2 hours of that, I took the patch off and looked through my left eye - it was like driving in a deep fog. I called my provider and poison control and they recommended I go to the emergency room. While there they flushed my eye out with 3 liters of saline solution, over about a 3 hour period. There were breaks between because it was so painful to do that. I was told by the doctors there that what I had splashed in my eye was probably one of the worst things out there that could have been put into it, since it is so concentrated. Poison control told me the same thing before I went down to the hospital. They put ointment in my eye and sent me home around 3:30 a.m. Tuesday morning, my eye was swelled shut and watering profusely, and very light sensitive. It still looked like I was looking through fog. I had an appointment with an ophthalmologist that day. He said that it appears my epithelial layer of my eye has been burned off. He does not yet know if I will have permanent damage or if the epithelial layer will eventually grow back. He told me that everyone who has this product in their household should throw it out immediately. He apparently has seen this over and over again. He and the doctors last night said that this stuff is so concentrated and alkaline, it has immediate absorption and, when kids swallow it, it burn

Costco Kirkland item 994397, Premium Dishwasher Pacs. Blue tabs on lid are sharp, cutting and injuring both thumbs trying to access product.

I was pulling apart two Cascade Platinum dish washing tablets that were stuck together and the liquid squirted into my eye causing a chemical burn.

Used two different types of Cascade dishwashing powder trying to find one that did not leave perfume smell and taste on dishes. My husband, as well, could not be in the kitchen when I opened the Cascade Complete to get a pod because he would get an asthma attack from just being in the room. We found the same trouble removing the perfume smell from [REDACTED], the next detergent we went to to find a powder that did not leave a disgusting smell and taste on our dishes. Same experience. 4 follow-up rinses do not remove the problem. Not hard water; ensure spray arms are unimpeded; use extra hot water setting and extra scrub. Cannot be healthy if some chemical remains on our dishware that then goes into our bodies. [REDACTED] had numerous complaints about this issue on the Home Depot web site (not where I bought my package) where company did the same thing of telling each complainant to call them. I had just sent a form email to [REDACTED] just before finding the Home Depot web site showing many others having same problem. I was also trying to find a DW powder that wouldn't inflict digestive problems with my husband: diarrhea, bloating, stomach discomfort. Repeated rinsing stopped that for Cascade and [REDACTED] products! But smell and asthma still a disgusting issue. He developed troublesome digestive issues (discomfort, bloating, stomach and intestinal pains) beginning about 2 years ago that we nor the doctor could explain. I now suspect he has had some possible damage/lasting symptoms from these products. He is unwilling to have me provide his name. Did hear the rinse agents in detergents (dishes, clothing) can cause digestive problems in people. Quite concerned now.

The consumer has a safety concern about one of the ingredients used in the product-benzotriazole. (06/21/2023) The consumer stated that this is the first time that she has bought the product. The consumer opened the bag and was sitting close to it. Suddenly, she wasn't feeling well. The bag had only been open for about five minutes. The consumer looked at the ingredients on the bag and did research on benzotriazole. She discovered that it was very toxic. The consumer stated that she is astounded that this ingredient is allowed to be in a dish washing product.

I was using a Cascade Complete (by Procter & Gamble) pod to put into my dishwasher. The covering of the pod split so that the liquid squirted into my eye at lose range with great force. I could feel it burning and it was very painful. I instinctively rinsed my eye in cold water for 5 minutes. then I read the warning on the pkg. that said to rinse it for 15 min. If I got some in my eye. I did that, but it was still very painful with a burning feeling so that I could not keep my eye completely ope. I called the company phone number on the box. The first person I talked to took a report with my name and what happened. Then he transferred me to their medical dept. Again, I told what had happened and that I still was not ok. she said to go to a doctor or emergency room. I did that and was diagnosed with "burn of cornea and conjunctival sac. They flushed my eye with 1 liter of saline, which took about 1/2 hour, and was a painful treatment in itself. Please recall this product - this could happen to anyone.
