9/9/2020 Caller was in a store 30 minutes ago when his 2 year old daughter was sprayed in the eyes with the product by one of her siblings. They used the eye wash station at the store for about 3 minutes, but she kept closing her eyes and it was difficult to rinse thoroughly. She has redness, swelling, and tearing. She says her eyes hurt. Caller is already on his way to the emergency room. 9/10/2020 Call back to the original caller for follow up. Daughter was seen in the emergency room, and her eyes were flushed. She was sent home with no further treatment. Eyes were a little red afterwards yesterday, but she is doing well today.
