7/18/2022 Caller states she applied the product to her daughter's legs and feet on 7/14/2022. They were outside for about 6 hours, and then as soon as they got into the house she gave her daughter a bath and the water was not hot. After the bath, her daughter had a few blisters. They took her to the emergency room on 7/14/2022. Caller is asking if the hospital washed her daughter's legs and feet with warm to hot water if this would cause her daughter's symptoms? They brought her to another hospital, and before arriving her daughter's symptoms worsened. She had increased blisters and her feet were peeling. Her daughter was admitted to the hospital and is being treated with burn cream. 7/22/2022 Call back to the original caller for follow up. Her daughter is still in the hospital. She had skin graft surgery on her lower legs, front and back, and the tops and bottoms of her feet. Her diagnosis was a chemical/scald burn.
