Danger for our kids-please read

deleted_user
I was just given a letter from my manager of my apartment complex with pictures included. It was of a little boy maybe 5 or 6 that had suffered sever burns from the Magic Eraser cleaning sponge. Apparently they contain some very dangerous chemicals that if rubbed on the skin can cause sever burns. The 5 year old suffered from burns on his cheaks and forarms. The poison control center told her that this has happened to many people and walked her throught stopping the burn and then took a trip to the hospital.
The packages have no lable on them that state that they can cause such burns and that they need to be used with care. They have no smell and do not list any ingrediants (yet any way) they look like harmless sponges. Please be careful when using them and apparently dont let kids use them unsupervised. I dont know how much rubbing or contact with the skin you have to have to get the burns as I have used them and love them much. But then I dont rub them on my skin either.
I just wanted to pass the info around so that our little ones could stay safe from an item that seems so harmless.
