A British man claimed that a shower gel burned his testicles after he used it. Raymond Cuss, 42, said that herbal-scented suds stripped off a layer of skin and left his privates glowing bright red. Mr Cuss bought this shower gel, marked like Dettol production, for 99 pence (48 Roubles. 1.55 USD. 1.15 Euros) in his home town of Gosport, Hampshire. The Telegraph quoted Mr Cuss as saying, “It was the first time I’d bought this particular shower gel, and chose it because it had the Dettol brand on the front, which I trusted. I had a shower to freshen up when I got home from work and suffered an horrendous reaction”. A doctor instructed Mr Cuss to soothe the inflamed skin by applying a moisturiser twice a day for a month, but he’s since recovered with no lasting physical damage. After this unfortunate incident, Raymond Cuss has received 1,000 UK Pounds (48,420 Roubles. 1,554 USD. 1,180 Euros) in an out-of-court settlement. Representatives of the Dettol company examined the bottle and directed them to the supplier. A Dettol spokesman said, “A review of the product packaging identified it as most likely a product originally made for the Korean market and imported as a grey market product”.
