Leon Gleed (29) is a truck driver and is often away from home. While on vacation recently, he was plagued by a ‘burning pain’ in his buttocks. The cause soon became apparent.
His girlfriend Sadie Williams bought Tesco’s Active Flushable Toilet Wipes at a Tesco supermarket in Rica, South Wales, and placed it near the bathroom at home. A few days and several toilet visits later, Leon Gleed developed a nasty rash.
Wipes are for the toilet itself
The wipes in question are there to disinfect the toilet and especially the toilet seat. So it is not about the well-known wet wipes with which, among other things, baby’s bottoms are wiped clean.
Leon can laugh about it in the meantime, but it was seriously bothered by it for a few days. “When I got the pain I knew something wasn’t right and when I checked the packaging it said ‘it kills 99 percent of bacteria’.”
His wife says she doesn’t understand ‘how he could be so stupid’. Nevertheless, they decided together to ask the producer in a letter whether it could not be stated more explicitly on the packaging that it is a maintenance product and not wet wipes. There has been no response from supermarket chain Tesco for the time being.
Leon’s burning pain is now gone.
The bad guy.
