Our Dawn Original has been thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed, so we're sorry to hear that you had this experience. We hope that you're feeling better. We can also assure you that a lot of thought goes into our products, and the fragrance change of our Dawn Original was implemented after receiving positive feedback during extensive testing with consumers. We'll make sure to share your comments with our team, and we do recommend that you discontinue use of this particular product if this has been your experience. For a different scent, we recommend giving another Dawn version a try. It may be helpful to know that our lightest scent can be found in our Dawn Free & Clear, and we also offer our Dawn Free & Clear Fragrance-Free. We'd like to learn more and gather some details for our Safety Team, so please give us a call at (800) 725-3296 when you can.

We're disappointed to hear you aren't enjoying the new scent. While Dawn is safe when used as directed on your dishes, we don't recommend using on pets as it hasn't been tested for this. Although we're proud of Dawn's role over the last 40 years, cleaning up wildlife affected by oil spills, the cleanup is complicated and performed by professionals in bird and wildlife organizations. They understand the delicate balance required to remove the contamination while increasing their chances for survival. If you have questions or would like to share more, give us a call at (800) 725-3296.

We're sorry to hear this has been your experience with Dawn. Customer feedback is absolutely vital to us and all of our future decisions, so you can be assured we're sharing your review with the rest of our team.

In case this helps, soaking the dishes in water and vinegar can help remove the scent from your utensils.

Also, when you have a moment, we hope you'll give us a call at (800) 725-3296. We're here to help.
