My stepmom brought this carpet powder over from her old house a few years ago, when she moved in with my family. It is still sealed, unopened and very dusty on the outside.
The S.C. Johnson product, which is copyrighted 1998, "penetrates deep into carpet fibers to kill dust mites." I used Google to find out more about it, and found a news article from early 2000 where AllerCare products were making people, especially small children, sick. One family even had to pay S.C. Johnson to come in and completely strip their home of anything contaminated with AllerCare. Soon afterward, all AllerCare products were recalled and pulled off the market.
I know this sounds trivial, but should I open and use this powder, or just throw it away?
