IB C I D EHT:
Later that sane day, 12/27/92 at approximately 3:00 P.M., the 1?
year old female complainant and 21 year old boyfriend hung each
coat on a h anger and suspended the hanger from a clothesline in
the attached and enclosed front porch of the family*a farm house.
The 17 year old complainant did the actual spraying of the fabric
protector product, though her boyfriend was present in the porch
for part of the time. The complainant sprayed 1/2 the contents
of a 5 ounce can onto each Jacket as she had been directed, and
estimated that this activity took her less then 5 minutes. Both
complainants then left ihe porch where the spraying had taken
p l a c e u n t i l 30 minu t e s had e l a p s e d at w h ich time the 17 y e a r old female then re-entered the porch and sprayed 1/2 the contents of
a second can of the fabric protector onto each coat. She
estimated this activity again took her approximately 9 minutes.
The complainant's boyfriend was not present during this second
application.
..
P h o t o g r a p h s d e p i c t i n g the c o mp l a i n a n t *a r e e n a c t m e n t of the m a n n e r In which she used the fabric protection product are attached to the end of this report as exhibit "A".
The complainant stated that before using the fabric protector
product, she did read the Instruction labels on the can, and
noted the warning "Vapor*a May Be Harmful." She felt that the
unheated, enclosed porch vac large enough a space to allow the
vapors to dissipate, and she left one of the porch's, crank-out
style windows open approximately 6 Inches to assist In further
v e n t i l a t i n g the fumes. The porch area Is 26 feet long by 6 feet
wide by 7 feet high. The porch has two pedestrian doors that
p ro v i d e excess to the main living areas of the house; both doors
were kept closed, except to enter and exit the porch during the
spraying periods.

Approximately 20 minutes after treating the coats for the second
time, the 17 year old complainant noticed that she could not take
deep breaths, and felt like she could not catch her breath. It
hurt her to breath, and she experienced a burning sensation In her lungs. The complainant also began coughing uncontrollably,
and felt slightly dlzxy. The complainant's boyfriend suffered no

SBKMhRY;
This investigation was conducted in response to a report that two sister, ages ten and nineteen, experience/ severe respiratory distress after treating a new leather coat with an aerosol fabric
protection product. Both victims were treated at a local hospital emergency room and released.
PRE-INCIDENT;
On Sunday 12/27/92, at approximately 3:30 p.m. the nineteen year
old female complainant purchased a new black leather waist length
jacket from the "Wilson's Suede and Leather Products" retail store
located at A --1009 Port Plaza Kail, located in Green Bay. Wis
54301, phone # 414-432-3121.
*
The complainant was assisted in making this purchase by a female clerk named Darla, last name unknown, who is believed to be a store manager. The store manager suggested to the complainant that it would be important to treat the new jacket with a fabric protection product to avoid damage to the coat from dirt or moisture. The clerk suggested that the complainant purchase "Wilson's Leather Protector", which is an aerosol product sold at the store in 5 02 aerosol cans. This aerosol fabric protector is sold in a two can cardboard display packaged, described as a "Leather Care starter Set . The two container set retails for approximately $10*00.
The complainant agreed to purchased the fabric protector product She was told by the manager that the entire contents of a five ounce can of the product should be sprayed on the coat before it was worn, and that the coat should be retreated every aix months afterwards by spraying an additional one-half container of the five ounce size can onto the coat. The clerk provided no further direction as to how the fabric protector should be applied, and
provided no cautionary warning that the product's fumes mioht be
INCIDENT;.
Later that same day, 12/27/92, at approximately 6:30 p.m., the
nineteen year old complainant sprayed the entire content of a five ounce aerosol, can of Wilson's Leather Protector onto her new jacket. This jacket was treated in the basement area of the
Jtwftory singlc. faKilY residence. The basement is unfinished, though a portion of the basement area is used by the
te1 Xe?r old sister as a playroom. The area where
fc "V* treied \e described as being approximately 16ft. long if,"4 , lde x Btt- high, and is adjacent to the home's gas forced

The spraying of the jacket took approximately five to ten minutes
The complainant stated that she read the instruction and warning
labeling on the aerosol can before starting to use the product.
She noted that the labeling stated that "Vapors may be harmful"
and "Please do not smoke while using this product". Otoe
complainant felt that the open basement area was large enouah to
preclude her from having any problems with the product's fume s , so
she sprayed the can's entire five ounce contents on the coat in one
application, she did not find the fumes particularly offensive or
overpowering, and noticed no adverse physical effects while using
Photographs attached to the end of this report as
exhibit "A" depict the complainant reenacting the manner in which
she sprayed the coat. .
wnicn
The complainant's ten year old sister was playing approximately twelve feet from where the coat was being treated. At one point the ten year old was asked by the complainant to assist in holding the jacket open during the spraying procedure; the ten year old did so for approximately one minute. A photograph of this procedure, reenacted by the sisters, is also contained in Exhibit "A".
Approximately fifteen to twenty minutes after finishing the leather protector treatment of the jacket, the ten year old daughter complained to her mother that she was having difficulty breathing. The ten year old complained that she had a burning sensation in her lungs if she took a deep breath, and that "it feels like somebody is sitting on my chest". The ten year old laid down on the living room couch to rest, at which time the nineteen year old complainant
downstairs from her bedroom also complaining to her mother that she foit like she could not breath. The nineteen year old could only take short, shallow breathes, and she began coughing uncontrollably, feeling like she needed to vomited. The nineteen year old also complained of the same burning sensation in her lungs
POST-XMCTDEMT;
The girl's mother suspected that the victims were having
reaction to the fabric protector; she immediately called the local poison control center but was told that the "Wilson's Leather Protector" product was not listed in their files, and that she should immediately take both girls to a local hospital for
emergency treatment of their symptoms. The.victims' mother drove the girls to the near by Oconto Falls Community Memorial Hospital, 855 S. Main Street, Oconto Falls, Wi. 54154, where they both received emergency treatment from Dr. Wallace. Both girls were giving oxygen tests, chest x-rays, and were found to be suffering from symptoms usually associated with chemical pneumonia. The symptoms begin to subside, and the two victims were released from the hospital approximately two hours after admittance. As of the
921229CCN0544

W aterproofing Sprays Booted Off Market Over Illness
By M ichael Sm ith, M edPage T oday S ta ff W riter R e v ie w e d b y R o b e rt J a s m e r, MD; A s s is ta n t P ro fe s so r o f M ed icin e, U n ive rsity o f C a lifo rn ia , S a n F ra n cisco May 08, 2006 S ou rce N ew s A rticle: ABC N ew s, C hicago Tribune, MSNBC
M edPage Today A ction Points
Ask patients with respiratory illness - coughing and shortness of breath - w hether they have recently used w aterproofing sprays or tile grout sealer.
Note that this study suggests that even when used as directed such sprays can cause illness. R e v ie w DETROIT, M ay 8 -- Two w aterproofing sprays for boots have m ade m ore than 170 people ill with respiratory problem s, researchers have reported.
"You basically Teflon your lungs," according to Susan Sm olinske, Pharm .D., of the poison control center at the C h ildren's Hospital of M ichigan here.
Both sp ra ys -- Jobsite H eavy Duty Bootm ate and Rocky Boot W eather and Stain Protector - have been pulled from store shelves. Dr. Sm olinske said, although the recall has not com pletely elim inated the
problem . "You can't buy (them ) but we continue to get a trickle of exposures" from people using products bought before the recall, said Dr. Sm olinske.
Dr. S m o lin ske and colleagues in five states have identified 172 cases o f respiratory illness related to the two
w a te rp ro o fin g sp ra y s p lus 19 anim al cases, they reported in the M ay 5 issue of th e C D C 's Morbidity and
M ortality Weekly Report.
No deaths were reported among the hum an patients, but three pet cats died from exposure to the sprays.
Physicians should be aware of the risks of such sprays. Dr. Sm olinske said. When treating patients with respiratory illness, she said, "they should ask the question: 'W ere you using an aerosol w aterproofing spray?'"
For consum ers, she said, there are four guidelines:
Hold your breath when using waterproofing sprays. Do the w ork outside. Lim it other people's exposure Keep pets away.
The two sprays were m eant to be used outdoors. But an analysis of the first 150 cases showed that 87% had been exposed while using the products indoors and 13% w hen using the products as directed. Som e people w ere exposed when sprayed boots were brought indoors before the product had com pletely dried.
The two w aterproofing sprays contain fluoropolym er particles, which com bine with a hydrocarbon carrier, heptane. In the lungs, the com bination prevents gas exchange, "and you asphyxiate," Dr. S m olinske said.
W hile there were no hum an deaths, the researchers found, 10% of the sym ptom atic patients were adm itted
to a h o sp ita l and one m an w as h osp ita lize d for 19 da ys on a ve n tila to r. "W e had no deaths," sh e said, "but
we did have one near-death."
'
Dr. Sm olinske said there's little doubt that the waterproofing sprays caused the illness, which was characterized by coughing and shortness o f breath. "It's a pretty high case rate," she said. "It's at least 1%,

because they didn't m ake that m any cans."
W h a fs more, she said, som e people who becam e ill later used the substance again - and got sick aqain One guy even did it a th ird tim e," Dr. Sm olinske said.
W. f re k n Wn t0 h ave been e v a lu a ted in h o sp ita ls o r h osp ita l e m e rg e n cy d e p a rtm e n ts Pulse oxim etry o f patients evaluated in hospitals ranged from 61% to 100% (w ith a m edian o f 94.9% ).
Cnesc radiograph s w ere taken for 47 patients; 13 w ere positive for infiltrates.
Eight patients m et the case definition for chem ical pneum onitis. They had bilateral infiltrates suggestive of chem ical pneum onitis and pulse oxim etry ofJe ss than 95% on room air.
Dr. Sm olinske added: the problem is not going away" now that sum m er is com ing. Sim itar risks are
associated with sprays used to w aterproof tents and other outdoor gear, as w ell as with the tile qrout sealers used in hom e renovations.
Also, she said new products using nano-scale particles - less than 10 m icrons in diam eter - are com ing on
the m arket and we re keeping en eye out for sim ilar problem s," she said. N ano-particles are ea sily able to get deep Into the alveoli and interfere with gas exchange, she said.

Leather protectant makes dozens sick

Leather p ro tectan t m akes dozens sick
P oiso n c o n tro l ce n te rs in M id w e st s a y 165 ill By Jonathan O. Rockoff Baltim ore Sun
W A S H I N G T O N - A w ater repellent spray for leather products has sent dozens o f people to hospitals in the M idwest with severe respiratory problem s, and it appears to be made of a sim ilar m ix of chem icals that prom pted a recall 14 years ago, poison control officials say.
Since October, poison control centers in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania have received 16S reports o f illness after exposure to the spray, which is sold under the name ' ' Jobsite H eavy Duty Bootm ate" o r ' ' Rocky Boot W eather and Stain Protector."
Last week, a Maryland man became ill after using the substance, according to th e National Capital Poison Center.
The poison control cen ter in Syracuse, N.Y., has also had four reports, a to xico lo gist there said.
The Consum er Product Safety Com mission is investigating but has yet to take action.
Neither M anakey Group of Grand Rapids, Mich., the distributor of the leather sprays, nor Assured Packaging o f Ontario, Canada, the m anufacturer, returned calls seeking comment.
On Jan. 3, Manakey Group agreed to recall the product from store shelves, said Susan Sm olinske, managing director of the poison control center in Detroit. Two days later, the Michigan Health D epartm ent issued a warning to consum ers.
But poison control officials don't know whether the company performed the recall, and some are frustrated because they say the com pany refuses to identify the states where the product is distributed and its chem ical makeup, saying that is a trade secret.
Officials w orry that people who have bought the product m ay not know of the serious health problems.
If they've been using a waterproofing product and developed sym ptom s -- difficulty breathing, chest pain -- they should not shrug it off. They should seek medical attention im m ediately," said Rose Ann Soloway, a clinical toxicologist at the National Capital Poison Center.
The pain feels like an asthm a attack, and some doctors have misdiagnosed it as pneum onia, said Sm olinske.
There have been no deaths reported.
The sym ptom s m irror ones that sickened at least 157 users of ' ' W ilson's Leather Protector," prom pting a recall in 1992. The m anufacturer, Vangard Chem ical of St. Louis, recalled the product. No one died.

However, there's one particular brand that poisoned one Mishawaka woman and her dog, making them very sick.
They are not alone. Hundreds in the Midwest have been poisoned as well, even sending some to the emergency
In a special Contact 16 report, we warn you about this potential "Danger In a Can."
Unknown toxin Michele Cripe and Bob Sherry love their little dog Elvis. He's full of energy, but right before Christmas, that wasn't the case.
"| notjced the dog hadn't been acting right, he threw up," says Michele. "His breathing got really bad, real rapid and shallow and his whole body felt cold, it was like his whole body was going into shock."
Concerned Elvis maybe ate something he shouldn't have. Bob took him to the vet.
"By the time he left, I just started having these horrible, horrible, shivering, uncontrollable chills and shivers and my breathing got a lot worse," says Michele.
Not sure what made her and little Elvis sick, Michele called her doctor.
Michele bought a common product, used to waterproof shoes, but...
"I said the only common denominator was this spray," says Michele.
The spray is called Jobsite Heavy Duty Boot Mate.

Michele bought the spray at Pells Shoe Store inside a local Meijer store to waterproof a pair of suede clogs.
Michele says, "It said use in a well ventilated area and I had sprayed in here; it's a large room, I had the front door open for some fresher air."
Thinking she had used the Boot Mate spray correctly, Michele was concerned others could get sick and called Contact 16 to investigate.
Bob said, "I was getting ready to write letters to the manufacturer and I suggested to Michele you might want to try Contact 16."
Contact 16 called the Indiana Poison Center and discovered an outbreak of poisoning cases in the Midwest.
Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania had a combined 162 poisoning cases. Boot Mate made 145 people sick and 17 animals sick. In one case, someone went to the emergency room.
I n p i ? ne interview with Dr. James B Mowry, of the Indiana Poison Center, he said, " h a t's how we sort of picked up on it because people started reporting this to their poison centers and all of a sudden, we noticed the same product being mentioned over and over again. It gave us a clue that there was a problem."
So, what's in Boot Mate that's making hundreds sick? The only ingredient listed on the can is heptane.
"The fluoropolymer is probably what's going to be implicated in causing the effects. This is something we've seen in several other outbreaks of the same type of respiratory illness with other types of water proofing products," says Mowry.
Fluoropolymer products are commonly used as water repellents.
Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania had a combined 162 poisoning cases; the product made 145 people sick and 17 animals sick
Doctor Mowry says that fluoropolymer irritates the membranes of the throat and lung airways, causing inflammation.
To get the poisonous ingredient out of Michele's system, the Indiana Poison Center recommended steam therapy.
"We were in the bathroom for 20 to 30 minutes each time, the dog and I both, just trying to get our lungs open and functioning again," says Michele.
Dr. Mowry recommends you not use Boot Mate, but if you do, he says, "You should do it outside when there's nothing around you. Also, never bring the sprayed product back into the home until its completely dried."

Why this particular brand? Meijer tells Contact 16 it did not sell the shoe spray, but a store it leases space to Pells Shoe Store, did.
Meijer added, the water protector has been on the market "three or four years", so it's rather "odd to see, during 2005, a high incident of customer complaints".
The Job Site brand is sold nationally at a rather high rate and might explain why complaints have been attached to that particular brand.
High consumer usage would lead to a higher chance of problems.
Meijer also tells Contact 16 Pells Shoe Store pulled the product after the first of the year.
What do the manufacturers have to say? A Canadian company called Manakey Group manufactures Boot Mate.
Contact 16 left several messages and emails for Manakey. They have yet to respond.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission also tells Contact 16 they are investigating Boot Mate, which means there could be a nationwide recall.
If that happens, we'll of course keep you posted.

"Jobsite Heavy Duty Bootmate," distributed by Manakey Group, LCC, is the most frequently cited product associated with the illness, but it is no newcomer to Michigan shelves.
" Jobsite Heavy Duty Bootmate' has been in Michigan stores for several years," Rod Clayton account manager in sales of Manakey Group said. "It seems the only reason that we're experiencing problems with the product this year is because people are not following the directions on the bottle."
The product has been under investigation for the past two weeks, but John Trustrail, managing director of Regional Poison Center, is not expecting a recall.
"We ran into a situation like this about 15 years ago with a similar product, and there was no recall-just a warning for people to remember to use the product as directed," Trustrail said. "I'm guessing we'll see a similar outcome with the `Jobsite Heavy Duty Bootmate' product. "
Both the poison control center and Manakey Group, LLC emphasize using these aerosol products as directed and in well-ventilated areas.
"Otherwise not only will these products waterproof people's shoes, they'll also waterproof people's lungs," Trustrail said.

Boot-waterproofing products causing respiratory problems

An unusual number o f people developed respiratory problems this fall after using aerosol products to waterproof their leather boots and shoes, Takecontrol of Pittsburgh Poison Center officials said yesterday.

In most cases, people complain about coughing, shortness o f breath or difficulty breathing after using the products; usually, they feel better within an hour after breathing fresh air. But some cases have required emergency treatment, some people have developed a pneumonia-like illness and at least one person has required hospitalization.
The products are sold under a number o f names and brands, Dr. Krenzelok said, and include the ingredient heptane, as well as Stoddard solvent, fluorocarbons and silicon. But he added that he doesn't know wprhoabtleamgesn. t or combination o f agents is responsible for the breathing

Boot-waterproofing products causing respiratory problems
p. 82 Page 2 of 2
About 10 years ago, a number of respiratory problems were reported in connection with leather conditioning products, he recalled, but "that sorta disappeared." Last week, however, one o f the staff members o f the Pittsburgh center, Rita Mrvos, noted that the center had handled eight cases o f respiratory problems associated with boot waterproofing. Dr. Krenzelok said other poison centers told similar tales - more than 50 cases at a Michigan poison center, about a dozen handled by a center in Indianapolis. In one case handled by the Pittsburgh center, a man was using the waterproofing products in the basement of his home when the furnace flamed out; the waterproofing fumes were then sucked from the basement and into the rest o f the house. Four family members suffered respiratory problems and one was hospitalized. The Pittsburgh center handles calls from throughout western and central Pennsylvania. All o f the incidents occurred outside of Pittsburgh, in such communities as Windber, Clearfield, Northeast and State College.
