We purchased a pair of the Eclipse Thermaback curtains and they gave off a very strong chemical odor. I dried them per their instructions and aired them out for several days outside, and the odor persisted. It gave me headaches and nausea. We ended up having to return the curtains due to the smell. Apparently others have been noticing this issue recently, so I wonder if it is a change in the manufacturing process. I also noticed these curtains are made in China and with the lax safety enforcement there, I doubt the manufacturer's claim that these curtains "contain no hazardous" materials given its effects on us. We are both in good health otherwise, do not smoke and do not suffer from significant allergies.

On April 21 st of 2023 I went to the Dollar Store located at [REDACTED] Fort Lee NJ 07024 there I purchased a plastic shower curtain . It had a very bad intoxicating chemical odor on it that it made me sick when I opened it with nausea and head aches..I am reporting it here ,because no one cares at the Dollar Store of the stuff that is sold there. No our innocent people do not have to get sick by this stuff. The UPC bar code on its back is 639--277--37858 3 and it is MADE IN CHINA..Why is so? We want our stuff to be made in America based upon human standards. It says there that it is distributed by Greenbrier International Inc ..[REDACTED] CHESAPEAKE ,VA 23320 and in CANADA this is distributed by [REDACTED] ...it writes Shower Curtain Rideau de douche 70 in Wx 72 in length from Home Collection...Please get this item inspected and remove it from our market.. Thank you!

After about 2 1/2 months the curtains began releasing a toxic chemical smelling odor into my child's bedroom causing her to feel ill and unable to sleep. The smell reminded me of chlorine or bleach. Only recently has the sun began to hit that side of the house due to the change of seasons, we noticed after the sun hits the curtains for a few hours it begins releasing that odor. We had to remove the curtains due to the condition it was creating in our kid's bedroom.

I hung and steamed Pottery Barn Emery Linen Blackout curtains (16 linen, cotton and polyester panels made in France, India and China) in my home and began feeling symptoms of off gassing (VOC) toxicity including eye, nose, throat, lung and skin irritation. The eye irritation was so severe that it caused corneal edema which rendered my visual acuity incorrectable (medical documentation is available). I have since removed the curtains (currently in sealed plastic bags) and I am improving. Pottery Barn has agreed to a return and will refund my purchase payment . I plan to return them immediately.

I purchased a heavyweight shower curtain liner from Bed Bath and Beyond. Size 72" x 72". Bar code 55604-81325 I installed the curtain in my bathtub. When I took a shower the same day, I was nearly overcome by the vapors from the vinyl curtain. Being in a confined space and with the heat and water vapors, it was quite overwhelming. The fumes of vapors were very strong. I felt lightheaded and had a terrible headache afterwards. I took the curtain liner down and put it outside and tried to air out the bathroom. The smell lingered for days afterwards.

Late April 2011. Purchased Eclipse thermaback blackout curtains from Target Annapolis, MD. Smell from curtains induced nausea, vomiting and diarrhea in my 19 year old son and myself in 2 separate incidents. Chemical odor coming from curtains.

The consumer says that her two year old granddaughter grabbed one of the ribbons of the drape. It slipped through her hand and cut her neck.

The consumer tried to contact the manufacturer via email on October 13th 2012 describing the incident. They have yet to respond. The consumer says that there are no warning labels on the product.
