[REDACTED] was a 14-month old male toddler who had ingested ~2 ounces of Hunter Boot Buffer Spray, the active ingredient being isoparafinic hydrocarbon, which was possibly aspirated by the child based on his reaction (lots of coughing). Aspiration of the product, in tandem with concomitant infection with rhinovirus, lead to progressive issues with breathing in the patient, which eventually culminated in ARDS. Patient admitted to intensive care, intubated and placed on a ventilator.

Purchased: Kiwi Instant Polish (liquid black shoe polish). When new (second time the cap was off): As I pushed the top cap off to expose the application sponge, the whole top came off, dumping the contents all over the floor, chair, pants, and boots. The cap would not resecure to the shoe polish bottle. The top and bottle clips were not broken and shows no misuse. I am a Fire Fighter / Medic (hazmat tech & specialist) and a mechanical engineer when not at the fire department. This bottle is poorly designed. As a result, the product contents are not properly secured is a hazard to the public.

46 year old male and 16 year old son were waterproofing their boots in their house. I do not know what kind of ventilation was used. that same day, he had respiratory difficulty and went to an Urgent Care but was discharged home. Son developed chest pain. Next day, both cats were dead. Father had difficulty breathing and could not get out of bed. Wife was not home during the waterproofing process. Son has improved but husband has had an additional ED evaluation and seen by PMD requiring steroids for his respiratory symptoms. Cats were taken to the MSU Veterinary College where they wanted to do necropsies but family could not afford the procedure. I have been unable to obtain the specific ingredients in the aerosol but it is highly suggestive of the prior episode of Bootmate which led to a recall because of nanoingredient used for waterproofing. This is Heelix Foot and Shoe Care aerosol bout at Rocky's Outdoors: 810-742-5420. the only ingredient they could give me was the propellants: propane, isobutene and hexane. It also contains mink oil. I am unable to locate this product on the web.
