		<description>Regarding the November 14th 2008 Posting, on August 25th, 2008, I used this product withouth gloves for 2.5 hours cleaning a bathroom tile floor in preparation to regrout the tile. I used plain water a sponge with a scouring side and the cleanser.  Mind you, there is no warning on the can regarding the product being a skin irritant.

The next morning I awoke and upon urinating, felt like I was peeing battery acid. This occured for 7 weeks, with no urinalysis test detecting any bacteria or infection. In fact I went to the extent of having a painful scope done that did show inflamation of my bladder.

Withing 3 days of using the product, my skin on both hand began to peel severly and turn red and crack. I went to a Primary Dr and A dermatologist that both advised I sustained 1st Degree Chemical burns. I was advised after multiple visits I would probably have a permanent case of dermatitis. Over 1 year later, I still do even after repeated treatments with lotions, some steroidal level 1 and 2.

Within 4 weeks, I began to sustain minor tremors and began experiencing instances of anxiety and panic attacks and some digestive problems as well as periods of sudden dizziness. I have been put on the smallest dosage of an antidpressant and anti- anxiety medication, that only limits my attack.

It has been over 1 year and I still have tremors, anxiety and panic attacks. Recent tests by an ENT Dr revealed that my dizziness was not caused by a dysfunction in the ear rather a dysfunction in my central nervous system (CNS).  A deep MRI concluded for hte Dr the Dizziness is not related to an ear problem. I am awaiting analysis and review now by a Neurologist for the CNS problem.

My life has been a living hell since I used the product. It contains OXALIC ACID which is very toxic.  Based upon the result of my Neurological exams, I intend to file a person injury suit against Servaas Laboratiies that manuafactures this product and have lined up an attorney and toxicologist.

DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT WITHOUT GLOVES AND BE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.</description>

		<description>I realize this is a very old post, but I have to tell all of you using the Bar Keepers Friend, that it is in fact EXTREMELY TOXIC AND DEADLY.  Please read the MSDS on the ingredient, which is &#039;OXALIC ACID DIHYDRATE&quot;.  It is very dangerous, but all they tell you on the can is that you just need to &quot;drink milk and call the dr if ingested and rinse out of eyes if contact occurs&quot;.  Well, if it is ingested, even in small amounts, it can cause horrendous damage.  It sucks the calciuim from the blood, and it deposits calcium buildup in the kidneys, causing renal failure, just for starters.  Upon inhalation and skin absorption, a host of other troubles can occur.
To anyone still using this product or even considering it, please be advised of what you are getting.  It is not like Ajax or Bon-Ami at all.  This compound is much different.  Once again, read the MSDS on this chemical for yourselves and find out what this stuff really is all about.  Then decide whether it is worth your health and the health of your family.</description>

		<description>Grease Lightning for that soap scum and grease,  dissolves both fairly quickly with minimum scrubbing. Not sure of toxicity but seems fairly mild to me, and the price is right.</description>

		<description>I love Bar Keepers Friend, too.  It works great everywhere.  If you haven&#039;t tried it or can&#039;t find it locally I would try their web site because they are giving away free samples.  www.barkeepersfriend.com</description>
