So I have 3 very young kids (2 1/2 and twin 9 month olds) – therefore bath time is a huge deal in our house. Last week, while giving my son a bath, I decided to read the back label of the “Thomas & Friends Whistlin’ Berry Scent Bubble Bath” that my son uses religiously. Lets read together what the “caution” section of the packaging says shall we…
USE ONLY AS DIRECTED. EXCESSIVE USE OR PROLONGED EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO SKIN AND URINARY TRACT. DISCONTINUE USE IF RASH, REDNESS OR ITCHING OCCURS. CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN EXCEPT UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. DO NOT APPLY ON LIPS OR AROUND EYES. AVOID EYE CONTACT. IF CONTACT OCCURS, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH WATER. THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN REVIEWED FOR SAFETY.
Is this a kid bubble bath or something used to torture someone? The line that really bothers me is how prolonged exposure may cause some serious issues…ummm what does prolonged exposure mean exactly? Don’t kids like to hang out in the bath tub until they become a prune?
Well since the last line clearly states that this product has been reviewed for safety I am sure everything is perfectly fine…right?
