A message for all parents

[lil75]

I had to share this with all parents...my nephew had a bath last night and mixed 2 shampoos together (as he likes making potions!) and washed his hair, it has burned all his head and he has burn marks down his face where it has dripped, it is now blistering all over....I knew that you shouldnt mix xleaning chemicals but there are no warnings on the bottles about mixing shampoos....just wanted to tell everyone as a warning, never mix shampoos!

[4getmenot]

thats ridiculous!! Your poor little nephew I hope he's getting better. What shampoos were they? Were they ok before when used on their own?

[scotgal]

Gracious me lil I think you better tell us what shampoos they were - I've never heard of such a thing.

[lil75]

Tescos coconut shampoo and pantene! I think there should be warnings on the bottles. Unbelievable!!!

[scotgal]

I think you should share this with the manufacturers.

[4getmenot]

yes or try a skin test on yourself before you accuse them

[lil75]

Thats what im going to tell my sister, My mum has taken photos already, thanks for all your good wishes

[scotgal]

Don't go in all guns blazing lil just give them the facts along with a photo and they will probably ask for samples of the offending shampoos for analysis. Remember this is how you get products recalled so you have a duty if you like to other consumers plus you will no doubt receive some recompense for your nephew's discomfort.

[lil75]

Thats what im going to tell my sister to do, send a letter with pics and keep the shampoo for analysis

[pastafreak]

Have the shampoos been used seperatelyon his hair previously???......could it be an allergic reaction to any of the ingrediants??

[lil75]

Im not sure at the moment, my sister is at work, so will talk to her about it when she gets in

[4getmenot]

I;d say its more likely he is allergic to just one

[annie0000]

Can you be absolutely sure that he didn't add anything else to his "potion"?

As far as I know, most shampoos will contain roughly the same ingredients, it would seem unusual that making two together would cause such a severe reaction unless he has a severe allergy, which you would think he would have to one of the individual products as well.

Anyway, hope he gets well soon and that your sister gets to the bottom of it. Please keep us updated.

Hello Lil75

My daughter's allergic to Pantene. It's only that shampoo that affects her. Hope your nephew's skin heals quickly.

[cazzz1975]
