The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone Interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and can not form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews. Although the direct inhalation of smoke emanating from this coil may product mild respiratory irritation, such symptoms are usually immediate in onset and transitory in nature. This patient did not start developing insidious symptoms until one day later. Also, her illness is strongly suggestive an in infectious etiology especially given the presence of a fever and the antibiotic treatment prescribed by a doctor.
