Guest Ransik Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 So I had a feeling that when I was bitching about how the Oxi-Clean wasn't sealed properly by the companies when they shipped it it would come back to bite me in the ass. My manager asked me to fix a stack of boxes another employee didn't bother doing the night before, which is right in front of all the Oxi-Clean. Well apparently I didn't notice one of the canisters wasn't sealed right and it had leaked some crystals out onto the stack of boxes. I open the box... I get a ton of it in my friggin' eye. So my eye puffs out and turns bright orange... and my boss sends me to the ER (makes me drive myself no less) and I spend an hour getting my eye flushed out. That was the real torture... this thing bigger than a contact is shoved into my eye and it's hooked to a tube which is hooked to an IV bag. My eye did nothing but twitch the entire time making it hurt like a son of a bitch... and for the next week I'm gonna be half blind in my left eye. And oh yeah... I had to get a tetanus shot too! The kicker? When I brought the paperwork in to my boss so the company could foot the bill... she actually tried to get me to punch back in and finish my shift! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HughBatey4 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Yeah, I would sue if I was you. Claim mental anguish and that you dog hates you because of that orange thing that was your eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ransik Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Thanks guys. Honestly I could probably sue the asses off Oxi-Clean cause they don't seal the crap at all. It just has a screw lid that doesn't even stay on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughBatey4 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Oxi-Clean for the reason you just stated and your employer for putting you in an unsafe working enviroment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panix04 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 go for it dude! I would definatly be kicking up a stink - perhaps not at your employer (unless you know you can get a new job if need be) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undertaker666 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Just say "Health and Safety", your company will soon start to tremble. Also ask them where your gloves and safety eyewear were seeing as you were working with irritants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thriller Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Here's you should do, pop into your place of employ and throw some Oxi-Clean in your bosses eyes and then when shes on the floor screaming ask her to finish her shift. Then run. Run to the hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ransik Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 There's really not much I can do about Dollar Tree itself... not really their fault the company that makes the stuff doesn't seal it right. That and it's automatically shipped to the Dollar Tree stores themselves... so even though it's not sealed right they can't refuse it or keep it off the shelves... although now I'm betting it gets pulled in all the stores pretty quickly especially if my sight doesn't come back. The Oxi-Clean company on the other hand... what complete moron decided it was too much of a hassle not to put a seal on a chemical? That's some gross negligence right there... money money money...

Thomnipotent Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Dude, do it. Exploit it. I've half-considered getting into some legal stuff with Commerce City here in Colorado (infamous for the Purina Factory, the Waste Management plant, other industrial filth) over my cancer. Not really. I mean, I can't prove that Commerce City is the cause. But that place is a freakin' cesspool. My point: do it, do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
