Following another incident today in New York, Hatzolah is once again asking residents to be aware of the dangers of the powerful St. Moritz chemical spray some use during Pesach cleaning.

Click here for a photo of a severe burn to the hand today from chemical.

(Last year too, parents of one child equested the graphic picture of their burned child be made public to serve as a reminder to parents to use extreme caution with the chemical).

The chemical, which appears to be just another cleaning agent available in groceries, can cause serious and permanent injuries.

Several groceries have stopped carrying the product after children suffered serious injures to their face.

Even a slight amount of the chemical coming in contact with skin or eyes, can cause irreversible damage.

Alternative and less-lethal chemicals are available.
