I don't know if anyone has had this problem, but I seem to have an allergic reaction to the new 100% natural air wick air fresheners, all styles. It might be a good idea if someone checked this out to see if the problem is more wide spread, or just me. Now I didn't have this reaction to the orignal style, or to much of anything at all for that matter, so if this is a wide spread problem, air wick should consider changing back untill the cause is figured out, just to be on the safe side.

Whenever my mom cleans the house she uses an air freshener and today she used Air Wick 4 in 1. We began to have a coughing fit and it still hasn't gone away. The house smells nice, but we can't breathe. I'm telling my family that if my lungs give out, to sue air wick.

I have never had allergies in my life. I recently used Air Wick plug ins in my house and started having issues with my breathing. I then plugged one into my classroom outlet and soon had issues there. My tongue started feeling like it was a combination of numb and burning and swollen, my throat was burning, and my lips felt swollen and burning. A number of my students started complaining as well. I unplugged the unit immediately and it took a couple days for it to completely clear out of the room. However, ever since this incident, I now have "burning mouth syndrome", which I never had before. It is completely triggered by environmental things like air fresheners and perfumes. None of these things were a problem before this Air Wick Plug In! It is annoying and frustrating and there seems to be no cure for it. It comes and goes and fluctuates in intensity. I really think these air fresheners need to be banned. They should definitely not be used in public places!

Glad I found this, been using Airwick for more than 20 years and never had any problems. The last scent I used was Paradise Retreat but since it wasn’t in stock I grabbed Fresh Linen. I noticed it seemed stronger than previous scents even on the lowest setting but didn’t think anything of it until I woke up coughing and with a sore throat. The plug-in scent was even stronger since my bedroom door was closed so I unplugged it and had to take cough medicine to fall asleep again. The next day I began to feel dizzy, got a headache and started to cough again. I unplugged the rest and went outside to get some air and felt better. I never noticed until now there are no ingredients listed on the packaging so there’s no way to identify the allergen. The only difference I see between these and the previous ones is “smells amazingly natural” so I will buy my usual but I bought 14 of them so money wasted.

Last weekend I plugged in air wick scented oil in every room in my house & my office at work. By Friday my eyes were itching, stinging and watery! I knew it was a allergic reaction to something but was unsure what it could be. On Saturday I had to be taken to the eye doctor because my eyes were so red & swollen I could drive. The only thing we changed were the Air wick air fresheners, so we removed them and started treatments the doctor gave me. I am doing better 24 hours later. I was wondering if this is recurring or just me. Thanks to everyone’s comments I done feel I am alone but seriously there is something in them that isn’t conducive to everyone. Air wick needs to research their product better.

Last weekend I installed Airwick oil since throughout my home and my office at work. I began reacting to the sent on Wednesday but by Friday I could tell that there was something seriously wrong. By Saturday I ended up at the doctors office with a major reaction to my eyes and he found pockets of histamineOn my eyes so he prescribed me some serious eyedrops which I’ve helped 24 hours later. I really do think that air wicK needs to reconsider their formula.

Thank you all for these potentially life saving feedback strings FDA needs to take this stuff off the market - if you have small children and babies must not be used

Without a doubt I can stand behind this comment. several weeks ago found this quite appealing - used them and had been getting severe azma attack like attacks weezing, sinus pain, awful, thought is was me until I did this research took them out 30 hours ago in the trash left AC recirc fan on since to clean the air along the HEP and AirPura system nearly back to feeling great again. I cant imagine a person already predisposition for azma, COPD, Sinuusitis, Bronchitis etc being able to ever tolerate this stuff
