AXE Body Spray Kills 12 year old
8/28/2009 at 10:41 PM
I wasn't sure how to put the link up but if you google "12 year old dies of axe inhalation" you will see the news report. Just wanted to post this as my child's school requires all children in grade 5 to have deoderant for gym class.
My friend was telling me about the axe deoderant body spray that her son was wanting and in discussions with other parents, I heard about this story. Although it says the boy used it alot, more than he should have I am sure, I also feel that young boys new to the deoderant scene and excited about being "all grown up" could very easily over use this item as well. I myself remember getting my first lip gloss and using it so often that I got a rash on my lips... kids excited about grown up things... I think you get the idea.
One person's son I know used this axe deoderant body spray and had to quit due to bad headaches...maybe a good thing...looks like it could have been much worse.
Just thought I would throw that out there as the advertising for AXE has made the product very popular with preteen boys.
If anyone knows how to post the link to the story, please do. Thank you.
