Ah, the allergic reactions... it's so daunting, all these unforseen costs when you're trying to sell a $4 bar of soap! :cry:Lindy said:Insurance is critical no matter what yoiu are selling. The biggest concern for CP'ers isn't lye pockets or lye heavy - it's allergic reactions which remains constant for MP as well. Unfortunately we live in a society that would rather sue than talk and there are people out there who won't take responsibility for their own actions - these people are why we all need insurance.

OMG! Do you mind me asking, have they ever threatened to sue you for it?Tabitha said:I have burned several people w/ fragrance oil in M&P soap :?
omg, you are very luck it was people you knew! I will actually avoid cinnamon in the future. I think cinnamon is very tricky, people have severe food allergies to it, so I can't even imagine if it's in a potent FO lolTabitha said:No threats. The 1st big burn was my husband. it was w/ a Christmas cookie fo, vanilla, orange & a dab of cinnamon. It was the cinnamon that got him. It was like a sunburn & wore off in about 30 minutes. I had 2 other people tell me they had reactions to fos, both had cinnamon in them. Neither one was as bad as my husband's burn & both were friends. I will NOT use an fo that contains cinnamon now.
LOL but mmm vanilla cinnamon sounds soo yummy! Personally, I like cinnamon, so that's something to look out for!Tabitha said:Do you know how much I want to make cinnamon pumpkin every fall? It tempts me so! Vanilla cinnamon is one of my favorited too. I actually buy vanilla cinnamon & cinamon pumpkin soap from other people each fall. I won't make it though :wink: .
rupertspal42 said:wow so I see the point in it.. but how to you obtain this insurance and how nuch can it costs? I want to be covered.. and with cp soap do you explain to the customer bout the lye?? :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:
candice19 said:Do you soapers think that insurance is necessary if I'm working only with melt and pour soaps?
I know the biggest fear is if a customer hits a lye pocket, but will MP soaps have that?
