A Louisiana woman is considering a lawsuit against Gorilla Glue after struggling to remove the extra-strong superglue she had applied to her hair because she ran out of her usual hair product.

According to news reports, Tessica Brown has hired an attorney and is weighing her options in a lawsuit against Gorilla Glue for failure to warn against using the product on hair. Gorilla Glue’s label does warn against using on eyes, skin or clothing.

In response to the incident and Miss Brown’s posts, Gorilla Glue tweeted: “We are very sorry to hear about the unfortunate incident that Miss Brown experienced using our Spray Adhesive on her hair. We are glad to see in her recent video that Miss Brown has received medical treatment from her local medical facility and wish her the best.” Gorilla Glue further noted that its product “is not indicated for use in or on hair as it is considered permanent.”

Brown sought treatment in a local emergency room to help remove the glue used to stick her hair in place, with health care workers applying acetone on the back of her head, which she claims burned her scalp and made the glue gooey before hardening back up.
