I received the following email from a close friend whose client has emailed this experience below.  I don’t even have words for this, so I’ll just let you read it and form your own opinion:

Strap yourself in when you read this story and ask yourself, “Do I know any family that buys “The Works” toilet bowl cleaner from Sam’ Club.  They need to read this testimony.  One of my new builders, Corey Davis was at his BNI group in Kalamazoo, MI and was sharing about Get Clean’s remarkable products.  As the members went around taking their turns, Matthew Rizzo stood to give his 1 minute commercial about his CPA business and stopped and told everyone at the meeting that they really needed to listen to Corey and then shared this testimony.

Matthew L. Rizzo*, CPA, CFP®;  Managing Partner / Owner (Last name changed to protect privacy).

“…At the local Sam’s Club, my wife purchased a 4 pack, shrink wrapped, of “The Works” toilet bowl cleaner.  On the way home, in the back of our van, it tipped over, and some leaked out (about half a bottle) on the seat and the carpet because of a hole in the top of one of the bottles.  The seat, the carpet and the underlying steel were all damaged.  The final resolution: our insurance company totaled the van, because of the spill!  

According to the insurance company and poison control, the fumes from the toilet bowl cleaner made the interior environment of the van permanently unsafe for anyone, especially young children, so we wouldn’t be able to drive the van any more.  The fumes also corroded any exposed metal in the van and poison control warned over time would ruin most if not all electrical connections.  After the van was cleaned and repaired to the fullest extent possible, it was still determined that eventually, the residual fumes would continue to have a chemical reaction and deteriorate anything left in the van, leaving the van completely useless and unsafe, hence the insurance companies decision to total the vehicle was made.”
 
Now ask yourself, if the van was totaled because of the “fumes” why in the world are people cleaning their bathrooms with it weekly and breathing the fumes daily?

Quite disturbing huh?!  If you are using this particular product, STOP.  Seriously and switch to something natural (you can check out the products from the link above).  And we wonder why there are so many health conditions nowadays!  Scary.

*Note: The last name of the client was changed in this blog to protect his privacy.  If you want the information to conatct him re: his testimony, please email me at ambertardiff @ gmail.com.
