I was in the process of warming food (chicken) in the microwave on a Walmart Brand Great Value microwavable paper plate. - 110 plate package. The food was on the plate in the microwave no more than 45 seconds and a flame presented, burning the plate and causing me to open the microwave to extinguish the flame. I was able to blow the flame out. Luckily I was standing in the kitchen while the incident took place, as the food was timed for 1.5 minutes. I'm still not certain why the plate would catch fire and have also requested the microwave be inspected. I do have photos of the plate and the microwave was clean. I was very concerned regarding this issue as others might encounter the same problem or I may have walked about from the unit and not have seen the beginning of the fire. This is very disturbing and I never would have used the plate in the microwave if I had known this was a possibility. Thank you.

Two boxes of tissues emitted a chemical smell that made an 86 year old consumer feel unwell. Her blood pressure increased from 112/40 to 200/90 or 200/100. Her pulse increase from 60 to 90-100.

I purchased some wax paper at the Dollar Store ( 65 s.f. of Durable Wax Paper, distributed by Greenbriar Intl., Inc., of Chesapeake, VA 23320) and today I used it, as advertised on the box, for microwaving. I wanted to reheat a slab of baked tofu and some broccoli florets, so I placed them on a plate ([REDACTED]) and covered them with a sheet of the waxed paper, setting the MW for one minute on 70% power. Imagine my surprise when I smelled something burning - sure enough, I looked in the MW and the waxed paper was pretty much ashes all over my food. The food, however, was just fine, warm enough to eat but not burned itself or even piping hot. I think this stuff is dangerous. I don't know why it flamed out like that, and I can't remember it ever having done that before, but if it advertises itself as microwavable, it needs to hold to that standard. Report Update 09/25: Consumer states via email update "I now believe the wax paper got caught underneath the turntable of the microwave. The food was rotated but the paper was not and so it burned."

August 23, 2016 Proctor & Gamble Distributing, LLC PO Box 599 Cincinatti, OH, 45201 On Saturday, August 13, 2016 1 was visiting my brother and sister-in-law at their [REDACTED] rented house when I picked up a roll of Bounty/Dawn paper towels and tore off a couple pieces. The plastic wrapper had been removed and the paper towel roll was on the counter looking like any normal roll of paper towels. It was unseasonably hot and I tore off a few pieces of the paper towel to wipe my brow and carry with me. Within a half hour I began to experience a burning sensation in my eyes which grew more and more severe over the next half hour. It became so painful that I could barely blink without experiencing excruciating pain. My eyes became alarmingly reddened. My wife, brother and sister-in-law became justifiably concerned, as was I. We stopped at a pharmacy and bought eye wash which I used in earnest for the next hour. I also showered and attempted to further flush my eyes. We were ready to find a clinic or emergency room as I was afraid that my eyes might be experiencing lasting damage. After further flushing the severe pain subsided somewhat and by nightfall I could keep my eyes open again without intense pain. I had absolutely no idea what had caused the severe burns to my eyes until the next morning. The next morning my wife picked up another piece of the Bounty/Dawn paper towels to dry her hands after dish washing. She immediately noticed a film on her hands which she was able to rinse off. Only then did we surmise that there was soap embedded in the paper towels and that this had been the cause of my eye injury. You responded to my initial notification of this incident with a letter from a [REDACTED] on the "Bounty Team copy of which is enclosed. She also sent me a coupon worth $11.00 toward Bounty products. I am returning that coupon herewith. The pain and suffering I experienced was severe and frightening for me and my family. An $11 .00 coupon is

When recently using a new box of Puffs Lotion Tissues - 3 pack/21.3cm x 20.8cm (Procter & Gamble) I noticed a very strong chemical smell from the tissues. The odor reminded me of a lemon scented cleaning chemical. When I took the first tissue from the box and used it, I was overwhelmed by the chemical smell, and it gave me a headache. I also experienced a burning sensation on my top lip, where the tissue came in contact with my lip. I continue to feel the burning sensation on my top lip 16 hours after coming in contact with the product. The chemical smell from the box of tissues (all the boxes have the same lemon scented chemical smell) was so overpowering when it was near my bed, approximately 1 foot from my head, that I had to remove the tissues from my immediate sleeping area. My children also complained of the chemical smell on the tissues. I purchased two packages of the Puffs Lotion Tissues - 3 pack yesterday (August 16, 2012) and the other package, on inspection, also has the strong lemony chemical smell. Both packages were securely wrapped in plastic when they were purchased.

This consumer is reporting a 24 roll of toilet tissue that he purchased from retailer in Topeka, Kansas around July 28, 2017. The caller opened the package during the first week in August, 2017 and noticed it had a splotch of something on it that he noticed after his first use. He removed the roll of toilet tissue then showed it to his wife who took out a new roll from the same package but saw that it had a light spray of small dots of the same type of stain. He contacted the manufacturer who advised him to return the first roll of toilet tissue but not the second. [REDACTED] who is the Product Liability was his contact but [REDACTED] was not keeping in touch with him so he went to [REDACTED] Supervisor who verified for him that the substance on the toilet tissue was blood. [REDACTED] supervisor verified that the substance on the toilet tissue was blood. The consumer asked if he could check this same stain for disease and the manufacturer responded that they did not have that type of equipment. [REDACTED] asked the caller what he expected from the manufacturer. He answered that he would ask that he become reimbursed, that his medical bills be paid, compensated for his emotional distress because he already had PTSD and emotional distress. He states that now he is afraid to touch his wife children and is constantly worried about which is causing him more distress. He does plan to have his blood checked for communicable diseases. I thought to refer him to the health department or FDA however he was very distressed and I didn't want to upset him further. After checking to find that we had reports regarding this product I went ahead with tis one.
