- Abstract
The article reports a case of facial dermatitis from allyl phenoxyacetate in a dry carpet shampoo. The case presented in the article is a 50 -year old woman with an acute contact dermatitis of the face and neck. This commenced after treating carpets with dry powder shampoo, a procedure, which involves sprinkling the powder and then vacuum cleaning the carpet, with the production of highly perfumed exhaust fumes. Patch tests were carried out 5 fractions of carpet shampoo perfume at 5% in olive oil as supplied by the manufacturer. A positive reaction traced the presence of allyl phenoxyacetate tested at 5 per cent in olive oil.
