Josie Aldridge, a 60-year-old woman from Hillingdon, London, recently had a mishap with a bottle of flowery scented air freshener. While on holiday with her friend Mandy in Cornwall, Josie decided to use the air freshener in her car. However, things took a turn for the worse when she opened the bottle with her teeth and ended up splattering the liquid all over her lips.
Unfortunately, the air freshener was too strong for Josie's skin and she ended up with five bright, red blotches on her face. After seeking medical attention, she was diagnosed with contact dermatitis and given steroid tablets to help with the damage. The bottle itself had a warning label advising people to use scissors to open the stopper and to avoid getting the liquid near their eyes and skin. However, Josie claims she didn't see this warning and believes the label should also mention wearing gloves.
Josie acknowledges that she made a mistake by using her teeth to open the bottle and not washing it off immediately. However, she argues that she didn't have any scissors or water in the car at the time. She believes that if the warning label had emphasized the potential damage the liquid could cause, she would have taken more precautions.
While Josie's skin is slowly clearing up, there are still some patches of redness. She hopes that it won't scar and will disappear within the next week or two. Her friends were initially horrified by the incident, but they were able to find humor in the situation. Josie also recognizes that she is at fault for not following the instructions properly and is not seeking compensation.
In response to the incident, Spry scents explained that the air freshener is meant for use in cars and should be opened with scissors. However, Josie had used her teeth to open it. Fortunately, she has learned her lesson and will be more cautious in the future.
