After a few hours I experienced sever pain went to the rest room to remove the patch and several layers of flesh came off with the patch.
My vacation was ruined as I could only sit in the room because of the pain. Could not even return home as the tickets were not changeable. Contacted Icy Hot for a claim, I asked for $15,000. for damages and for permanent scarring Icy Hot offered a $1000.00 for product refund and damages. The claim is open. I was insulted by their offer.
