I live in Texas.
Last week I used the topical product "Kalo" hair growth inhibitor. It claims it is derived from plants and that it "gently soothes skin" while permanently reducing hair. They say there are no chemicals used at all. You are to wax, tweeze, epilate or shave - then apply kalo. So I waxed and applied Kalo as directed. My skin was burned severely!!!!! I have taken pictures almost daily of my bright red skin. It even bled in places. People say I look like a burn victim. I was so worried that I got on the company's website to take a look at their forum to see what other people were saying about the product. I found a post from a kalo employee stating that they have an "extra strength" version that is not advertised and can only be ordered directly that can cause a "severe reaction". Kalo specifically claims that it does not produce redness or irritation and, in fact, gently soothes skin. There were absolutely no warnings....and it didn't soothe my skin at all. Now I am in pain and look like a scalding blister. I'm not sure what I should do, but I don't feel that their claims are correct or ethical. It could potentially hurt more people in the future. I can't even imagine the "extra strength". Do I have any sort of case at all?What is the name of your state?
