Can you imagine a can of mousse rupturing while you're spraying your hair?
Not my brand. My brand holds my hair in place. If it can do that, it can stay in the can.
We always look to you to let us know. Thanks.
good work-this could be a bad situation for somebody
An outstanding report as always. Thanks!
Appreciate the info!
My goodness, I hadn't heard about this one either, thanks for the notice. cheers :)
If no injuries have been reported, what's a safety commission doing in the picture? I hope this is not a waste of tax dollars, supposedly protecting Americans
I'm surprised. Redken usually has good products. Thanks for letting us know!
