Event Description

Bought a box of q-tips noticed when i got home from the store that they are not the regular kind, but are marked "antimicrobial." there is no listing on the box of what is in the product besides cotton.Called the company and still can't get an answer as to what is on the q-tips.Don't they have to tell the consumer? i have allergies / sensitivities need to know which antimicrobial is on the q-tips.This is the actual brand, not a generic.
