Multiple buyers report crushed cans and powder spills during shipping, a critical failure in packaging that directly contradicts the product's safety positioning.

In their words

It doesn't scratch my stainless steel sink or my porcelain tubs.

Roslyn · verified purchase · walmart.com

Ordered 4 and the cleansers were shrink wrapped and stuck in a large envelope. Opened the envelope and got cleanser everywhere. Pulled out the first two canisters and they were separated at either the top or the bottom. The envelope had been smashed which caused the damage. Thankfully, I did this over the sink. Huge MESS! Set up a return and there's no label for me to place on the package.
