"Espree should add a plastic cover inside the bottle or around the lid to avoid spills."

"This product is listed as tear free. It is not and unfortunately I did not find out until 3/4 through washing my litter of kittens. I actually got into my eye and it burns like crazy. The kittens have eye irritation now due to the shampoo. Makes me feel terrible."
