«Although the investigation is still carried out, our priority is to inform the public that they should not use this tool when they bought it in the store 7-Eleven river Vale»,- said Lieutenant John Virgin. «As far as we know, production is limited to the store of river Vale, and, judging by the information we received about a dozen bottles have already been sold to buyers. At the moment it is unknown who produced goods, but the police believed that the spray was made at the store.» «We informed local authorities and the authorities of the state, and at the moment the investigation is still ongoing,» added Virgin. «All who have purchased the product in 7-Eleven river Vale, please contact the police number 201-664-1111».
The boy is 10 years received medical treatment and was discharged from the hospital, and it is expected that he will fully recover. As it turned out, with it products purchased and used 3 children, but their burns were not as strong, and they did not need hospitalization.
Virgin said the store is cooperating with investigators, and they do not believe that there was a criminal intention.
«I think the parents should be careful to ensure that we use only legal products. The last thing we want to do is to panic and start to create your own types of antiseptics of the components, the content of which is unknown to us. Then comes the dangerous situation. Then, when mixing of the components turns out negative, which probably happened in this case.»
