Event Description

Consumer reported an event with band aid bandage tough strips waterproof.After accidentally cutting his/her arm on the job, the consumer went home, cleaned out the wound and applied a bandage.After a couple of days, he/she noticed the skin surrounding the bandage was become raised and itchy.The wound soon began weeping and shortly thereafter, his/her entire arm broke out in a severe rash that sent him/her to urgent care.Almost 2 months later, his/her arm, albeit far less itchy, is still very sensitive and the skin still pink.He/she literally ripped one in half just trying to take it off at one point.The one thing the bandages do well is stick too well.He/she is now dealing with a severe bandage rash that came close to hospitalizing him/her.Three medwatches (8041154-2021-00023; 8041154-2021-00031; (b)(4)) are being submitted as three devices were involved with the same event description.It should be noted, that this submission is potentially the same event/consumer that was submitted under 8041154-2021-00023 & 8041154-2021-00031 & (b)(4).The same consumer is potentially represented in each one of those medwatches.Although the events are very similar in nature and they are social media reviews, it cannot be determined conclusively that these are the same consumer.Therefore, these medwatches will be submitted out of an abundance of caution and will be treated as independent submissions and complaints.
