Dear Bowl Fresh,
On the back of your packaging you state, “Safe to use around pets and children, although it is not recommended that either be permitted to drink from toilet.”
Then later it says, “CAUTION: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. EYE IRRITANT.”
Which is it? Is your product safe to use around children or not?
Also, I’ve seen some pretty horrible parenting in my lifetime, like parents that let their kids hang over the back of the booth at Perkins annoying me, but I can’t imagine even the crappiest (ha ha!) of parents allowing their children to drink out of a toilet bowl, especially if it contained Bowl Fresh (whether it’s safe to drink or not).
Sincerely,
Christopher L. Jorgensen

Dear Christopher,
Thank you for taking the time to write to us concerning Bowl Fresh Toilet Bowl Cleaner.
This product contains mild detergents, borax, fragrance and blue dye. The blue tablet may be toxic to children and pets if swallowed. Once the tablet is placed into the tank and released into the toilet bowl water is considered non toxic. We must link the statement to the toilet bowl water. Believe it or not, we have had situations where children and pets have taken a drink of toilet bowl water. Fortunately neither became ill or displayed any unusual behavior.
In appreciation of your business we are enclosing complimentary samples of our products.
Sincerely,
Shelley Cade
