Soaps gone wild

Beware of exploding bath kits.

Nearly two years after hundreds of thousands of bath kits were recalled because they could explode, the government is warning consumers anew after more than a dozen more injuries were recorded from these soaps gone wild.

The kit, made for kids, has had the unintended consequence of gases being built up in the cute little purple containers that store the bath concoctions, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
Spa Factory Aromatherapy Fountain & Bath Benefits Kits, imported from China by JAKKS Pacific, were first recalled in January 2009 after 88 incidents were reported, including 13 children injured. Since then, another 13 injuries were reported to both kids and adults, the CPSC said, and now the incidents total 100.
