A resident of the American state of Louisiana confused hairspray with heavy-duty glue, burned her scalp and went to court. The Daily Mail reports.
According to the material, 40-year-old Tessica Brown did her hair by mistakenly fixing it with glue, and could not get rid of it for a month. Then she went to the emergency department, where she spent 22 hours.
It is noted that in the hospital, medical workers applied a bandage soaked in acetone to her head, but this method did not help dissolve the glue, but made it even more sticky. In addition, the product burned the heroine’s scalp.
According to the publication, on the front side of the bottle with glue it is written that it is intended for working with cloth, paper, wood, metal and other materials. Although the label contains a caution against contact with eyes and skin, there is no specific instruction on the label to avoid hairy areas. Because of this, Brown decided that it could be used to fix her hair.
“We are sorry for the sad incident that happened to Ms. Brown. This is a unique situation because our product is not intended for use on hair. The label on the bottle reads:” Do not swallow. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. “We are delighted to see Miss Brown received medical attention and wish her all the best,” Gorilla Glue wrote on social media.
The victim is reportedly planning to sue the brand because she believes the adhesive label is misleading buyers. In addition, the heroine of the material opened a fundraiser at the Go Fund Me site to cover her medical expenses, and has already collected almost 11 thousand dollars (836 thousand rubles).
Earlier in February, Tessica Brown published a video in which she said that she had done her hair, fixed it by mistake with glue a month ago and has not been able to get rid of it ever since. According to her, she washed her hair with shampoo more than 15 times, but her hair still remained smooth.
