Any idea exactly what chemicals/materials were used in manufacture? I don't normally have sensitivity issues, but this one gave me a strong reaction.

The main body of the bag is vinyl but it does have an overwhelming odor. The smell does dissipate but I'm not sure how long it takes. A few weeks I suppose.I'm on my second one and haven't had any kind of allergic reaction but I can see where someone would.

No I don't. It did bother me for a couple of days, but the smell went away and now I don't notice it.

That happened to me once. I heard what sounded like a diseased bird every few seconds while I was in another room. I remember that I touched the product the previous time I'd washed my hands, but I must have touched on the sensor in such a way that it constantly detected something. Clean off the sensor, and see what happens.

The packaging only mentions not to use if you have an injured/diseased eye or soft contacts. Since many people have latex allergies, I'm guessing they would have included that. Personally, I think it feels like silicon, but I'm not sure of the material. Its made by Amcon Laboratories (Royal Contact Lens Remover) so you may want to look them up.

I no longer have any information on this product. After taking it for a short while, it did not seem to work well for my needs and I developed a sensitivity to it. Sorry.

Yes, the product is at work when it tingles. However, if it burns, don't use it--you could be having an allergic reaction!

Sorry I really don't know. My husband bought a different brand. He also had an allergic reaction. I'm not saying it's a bad product my husband has very sensitive skin.

Like the other responders there is no mention of these chemicals on the tube or the packaging. I don't know where Amazon obtained their information. The only answer to the question, it seems, is to contact Immunocorp directly. It remains asuperb product in my estimation!

Mine never smelled so I suspect yours.may have been accidentally exposed to something. I should tell you that I am very sensitive to smells, especially of chemical origin. I would return it.

That is a very broad question. Everyone has different sensitivity. I can personally say I bought the .5 instead of 1.0 because I read it is best to work up to 1.0 because it is powerful. If you don't have sensitive skin then try 1.0. I did what was best for me when I purchased it. When I run out of .5 May up it to 1.0.

I have no idea, check the ingredients. It's fine to me and I have a very sensitive skin.

Please be careful using this product!!I called allergen. Only Dr's should sell this! I was burnt! I have very tuff skin too!

We ordered this also, and it came with a terrible chemical smell. Leaving outside all day didn't help dissipate the odor. It's coming from the 'leather' or faux leather at the end of the scope. Can't seem to get any answer from the seller. Beware! I asked my d-i-l to put it away until we know. (purchased as a prop for a young 'pirate'.)

Wow, RS, thank you so much for starting this thread. I'm allergic to most polyester fill and fabric (asthma and contact dermatitis) and was thinking of buying it only because they stated it was 100% cotton shell and fill. All cotton is hard to find at this sale price so I was going to buy it as a back up to my current one that's really held up well in 1.5 decades of use.

could you tell me how this turned out for you? I was thinking of buying this as I used a more expensive version for years and wanted this to replace it, but I have asthma and dont want trouble. Thanks.

Oh, I didn't give you reference information in my answer. I have dry, sensitive, very fair, porcelain skin. I am very easily agitated by products, and these caused nooooooo problem at all! No pain or irritation during or after use!

A co-worker gave me a bottle of certified organic Black Seed Oil (different brand) for arthritis and joint pain. I began taking 1 teaspoonful daily then, increased to 2 teaspoonfuls the second week. I ate something that caused an acute allergic reaction and I developed a rash. Unlike previous allergic reactions when the rash would take a week or more to heal, this time the rash was gone in less than 24 hours as if it had never existed. Wow!

Thanks all for your help and advice. I called 3M and he said I should return it to the store. Sounded like the urethane had hardened in the tube. Returned this afternoon. Got a new tube with a current lot number. Haven't opened it yet. Here's hoping.
