DMM, We're very sorry you had that experience. We want you to know that your safety is of the utmost importance to us, and our products go through rigorous testing to make sure they are safe when used as directed. It may be helpful to know that one of the features that makes our Unstopables awesome, is that fact that you control the amount of scent. If you want a strong scent use more beads. If you want a lighter scent use less. Please give us a call at (800) 688-7638, so we can help you further.
