Woman Puts Bath & Body Works Air Freshener In Her Car. Then She Sees What She Comes Back To: ‘Sent Her A $1,500 Check’

A San Diego Bath & Body Works customer is accusing the brand’s car air fresheners of peeling paint.

The driver, Kyna Kali (@kyna_kali), published a video online showing the aftermath of the air freshener spill inside of her vehicle. She begins her footage by holding up a fragrance puck to the camera lens. Initially, it looks like some gunk had evacuated the container and got stuck to her car’s dashboard.

However, upon closer look, it’s apparent that this isn’t residue build-up at all.

“I don’t know what Bath & Body Works put in their little scent things, but this is what I came back to in my car. The liquid melted the paint,” she says, showing off the damage on her vehicle’s dash. Indeed, the coating on her interior fixtures appeared to have crumpled and deformed in areas that came into contact with the air freshener's scented material.

In a caption for the post, Kali opined further on the purportedly destructive properties of the air freshener. “The fragrance was leaking somehow. Bath and Body Works car fragrance literally peels paint,” she wrote.
