Man 'almost died' on Christmas Day after one spray of Lynx deodorant
'A man says he almost died on Christmas Day after suffering a severe allergic reaction to Lynx deodorant. Seconds after using the new can for the first time, Darren Palmer, 36, had difficulty breathing, his skin was itchy and he started coming out in blotches.
The motorway maintenance worker quickly took off his clothes and jumped into the bath at his home in Darfield, near Barnsley, and tried desperately to scrub off the Lynx Fever spray.
Emergency: Darren Palmer had never suffered an allergic reaction to anything before he used the Lynx Fever spray on Christmas Day
He then lost consciousness and went into an anaphylactic shock with swelling in his throat and windpipe.
His wife Joanne, 34, quickly made a 999 call for help.'
Lynx is marketed as Axe in USA.
Boy, 12, collapsed and died after 'using too much Lynx deodorant'
Daniel Hurley, 12, who collapsed and died in his bathroom 'after using too much deodorant'
'Daniel Hurley died after using Lynx Vice spray - but the coroner said the dangers were clearly explained on the can. [Did Lynx pay the coroner to cover-up the lethal toxicity of their deodorant?]
Daniel Hurley was overcome by solvents in the Lynx Vice spray and his heart began to beat irregularly, the hearing was told.
His father Robert found him collapsed in the bath at the family home after spraying on too much of the deodorant.
Mr Hurley said he had desperately tried to revive Daniel but the schoolboy died in hospital five days later from cardiac arrhythmia - or abnormal heart rhythms.
He told the inquest in Derby on Wednesday that Daniel 'was always putting gel on his hair and spraying deodorant'.'
TOXIC PERSONAL CARE
PRODUCTS YOU USE DAILY - by Dr. Rapp
'Your shampoo, toothpaste, hair sprays and dyes, underarm deodorants, body lotions, creams, perfume, lipstick, bubblebath, shaving preparations, aftershave, deodorants, scented soaps, fingernail polish and polish removers all can contain substances that can make you sick. So many people developed asthma from scented perfume strips in magazines, for example, that they were discontinued by many advertisers. Remember what you put on your skin, can go directly into your body.'
'There is little supervision of the cosmetics industry. The FDA does not require manufacturers to register their products or to file safety data on the ingredients used. They is nothing stopping them from putting a number of toxic chemicals in their products. One perfume, for example, can contain over 200 chemicals.'
