I have mildly burnt myself before and am well aware of what a burn to skin should look like! The burns on my forearm from this product 'Easy-Off OVEN Heavy Duty Cleaner, a product of Reckitt Benckiser are quite serious and appear to be a 'caustic' type burn! Anyway, I havr rang the company who stated 'they are aware of these issues' and are going to put a 'Global Alert' out and advise their technical units! They also said they will reimburse the cost of purchase of product! kassie26, here is an email address for the company if you fell the need to pursue a refund or medical treatment. I got out of the shower to try and see what I had done thinking I had perhaps just cut myself without noticing! Well I lifted my arm to face the mirror in our bathroom and to my shock I noticed some slight blistering and dark marks on my forearm, similar to what you have described. I have just experienced similar burns using same product! I used gloves and a mask as required and advised, but noticed, as you would expect, some of the product from 'Easy-Off OVEN Heavy Duty Cleaner got on my forearm above where my gloves were protected! I instantly experienced a burning sensation and washed/rinsed the affected area! Anyway, I continued to finish cleaning our oven! Well the next morning I got out of bed and took a shower and as the warm water from my shower hit the skin on my arm I felt a very sharp pain.
