Some people have mush for brains. Always wondered how they manage to live so long...

I saw a warning about this about a year ago. Then, a few weeks ago, a family friend's son was burned when he got a hold of one & was trying to clean up yogurt on his arm.

We have them but I have them locked up & away from our children.

I have used these and they don't so much clean as sand off things. If you use it on a wall to take of a dark scuff mark, then look at the sponge, it takes some of the paint off as well. DUH.

Actually the ONE thing I've found this good for is marker. I shop at Goodwill and they like to use ugly black marker to price things (like glassware, small appliances).... the Magic Eraser (or the dollar store knockoff) works well on this. It's also removed marker from our walls (5 year old did it)...

Still, I can't believe this woman. I would never do such a thing but if I did I'd be too EMBARRASSED to go on TV and admit it!

YEA, no kidding. It takes all kinds.

I have also used the magic eraser on my shower door for the soap scum, that works pretty well also.

Saop scum in the tub, burned water marks on my glass top stove, the stainless steal sink basin, finger prints on the frig, grime on the kitchen floor, even the outside of the windows to remove hard water...

But where in the drirections for use does it sayFOR USE ON HUMAN SKIN? people are idiots.
