I have been using Ice Breakers Cool Blasts for a month and I have to say something is not right with them. As soon as I put one in my mouth my throat becomes inflamed and I instantly have to cough to catch my breath.

I have never had a mint do this before not even an Altoid which I consider to be one of the strongest mints on the market. With Ice Breakers it happens instantly to the point where I have stopped using them.

I saw someone else submitted a review with similar concerns with their throat and breathing so I felt the need to also submit a review.

Reason of review: Product does not feel safe .

Same experience!! I cough when I eat IceBreaker Spearmint but other flavors are fine to eat.

Every time I try an Icebreakers Spearmint flavored mint, it feels like some part of it gets caught in my throat and I have to cough. I eat several other flavors all the time with no problem, but Iโ€™ve tried that one flavor several times, with the same coughing.

I purchased Ice Breakers Duo Raspberry and began to cough and choke to the point of my eyes watering and being unable to speak. I called the phone number on the package to report it.

The representative I spoke with had not had any other reports of it but took down the code numbers on the packaging and the location and date of purchase to forward to the quality assurance department. I thought I could be allergic but then again, I have eaten Ice Breakers Duo in other flavors (watermelon, mint, strawberry) without reacting like this. I was given a coupon to reimburse me for the purchase. I offered to keep the package in case they needed to have it returned for lab evaluation and was advised to do so until I hear back from them.

Hopefully, if a recall is necessary, they will issue it right away before anyone else gets sick. I'm a bit annoyed because I sing, and now I have this issue in my throat just from eating mints.

Same here, I bought 3 canisters and thought I was crazy. Everyone would ask if I was ok...I would choke, couldn't catch my breath, have tears in my eyes and nose would run. I'm glad I am not alone, will not ever use them again, but want to know why.

Guest

Same here . Coughing starts a son as I have an ice breaker mint.. WHY ?

Guest

I ate one (coolmints) and started coughing seconds later. I never had this happen before with IceBreakers, but it had been years since I last had one.

My cough has persisted for almost a week now, but gets triggered immediately when I take a mint. I was worried it was Covid-19 after having the cough for a while.

I had this reaction to the watermelon flavor gum

Guest

I googled this to see if anyone else had this problem. Every time I put one in my mouth, it triggers a coughing spell!

Guest

Same here. I had eaten a couple at a time for several days and wondered why I couldn't stop coughing. This, I believe, actually led to a bad sinus infection and persistent coughing fits.

Guest

I have the same issue! Coughing fits for hours every time I breathe in.

Guest

I had this exact same reaction at first I thought it was a fluke and I forgot about it until I bought them again felt like I couldn't breathe I didn't know if I was having a panic attack or what
