I received a gift box from my daughter from this company. She said it was a "bath bomb box". Awesome, right? Not so much. I brought the box into my bathroom, opened it and took a yellow bar out of its package. Once I got into the tub, I placed it in the water. When it didn't dissolve right away, I was surprised. It did slowly start to dissolve. And dissolve it did, into an oily mess. I took it out within several minutes but the damage was done. I was laying in an oil slick. And I'm now seriously questioning how I am supposed to get out of the he bathtub safely as my hands are covered in this goop. It would barely wash off on my towel. I barely managed to get out and spent a long while cleaning this out of my tub.

I went out to tell my husband who was very concerned. Not only for my safety but for our sensitive septic system. We ran water for over an hour to flush it out of the pipes. I dumped the entire contents of the box into the garbage but kept the box. My granddaughter will love the pretty box.

I messaged the company, notifying them of my safety and septic concerns. I was not looking for compensation. I mentioned this was a lawsuit waiting to happen and suggested they label, what I now know was a "massage bar", not a bath bomb.

Customer Service was a joke. They wanted a picture from the tub. The bathtub I just spent a very long time cleaning. They also needed purchase verification. I had already said, I was not going to tell my daughter about this, so obviously was not going to ask for her receipt. Again, I also was not asking for compensation, just informing them to mark the packages better. I should not have to read instructions for bath bombs. Good lord. I have been using bath bombs for years.

I take half the responsibility for this mishap. Maybe this company has great products, but I will never know. I would think the owners and their legal department would be interested in this mishap and immediately put some quality controls in, and label anything that is hazardous. But I am certain my concerns haven't made it past customer service.

I have included screenshots of my discussion with customer support. I did number them if they don't load in order.
