A mother has been left in absolute agony after suffering severe chemical burns from what she describes as a "faulty" Mitchum deodorant can. Chantelle Lowe, 33, is now warning others after her routine use of the popular product resulted in horrific blisters and burning pain that left her unable to sleep.
The nightmare began just moments after application. "It was like someone had set my underarm on fire," Chantelle recounted. "The burning sensation was immediate and intense. I've never felt anything like it."
Medical Emergency and Ongoing Pain
Rushed to medical professionals, Chantelle was diagnosed with severe chemical burns. Photographs of her injuries show angry red skin, significant blistering, and substantial tissue damage. The pain was so severe that it disrupted her sleep and made simple daily movements unbearable.
"The doctors were shocked at the reaction," she said. "I've used deodorants my whole life and never had any issues. This was something seriously wrong with this particular can."
A Mother's Warning to Others
Chantelle is now speaking out to prevent others from experiencing similar trauma. She immediately contacted Mitchum's parent company, Revlon, to report the incident and demand answers.
"I want people to check their products and be aware," she urged. "If this can happen to me, it could happen to anyone. No one should have to go through this pain."
Company Response and Safety Concerns
While Revlon has acknowledged her complaint, Chantelle feels more needs to be done to address potential safety issues with the product. The incident raises serious questions about quality control and consumer safety standards within the personal care industry.
This shocking case serves as a stark reminder that even everyday consumer products can sometimes cause unexpected and severe reactions. Consumers are advised to discontinue use immediately if they experience any burning sensation or discomfort from personal care items.
