HAIR TURNED GREEN.
A DANGEROUS DYE.
A strange m'shap which befel a lady who desired to have her hair a darker shade was described i the King's Bench Division during the hearing of an action by Mr. Lillie Pendry, of Dennington Park-man- siona, West Hampstead. After treat- ment with the liquid supplied to her, said the lady, her hair turned green.
Mrs. Pendry sought to recover dam- ages from Iuects (Ltd.), of North Audley-street, and J. Asher, trading as Maison Radisie," at Caan-ld- gardens, Finchley-road. In the end the case was settled on terms not stated.
Mre. Pendry alleged that the use of the dye also caused distressing skin trouble.
Mr. Asher denied in his defence that any of the Inecto was bought from him by Mrs. Pendry.
Mr. White said that in February, 1920, Mre. Pendry-who is the wife of a provision merchant-was recom- mended at the Maison Radisie to darken her hair by the use of Inecto Rapid.
She bought two bottles and a brush with which to apply the compound. After a few days she began to use it. Its effect in colouring the hair was immediate.
She noticed, however, that a smali sore had appeared over her ear.
Counsel proceeded to describe how the state of Mrs. Pendry's skin got worse. Her eyes were closed up.
Eventually she found that her hair had rone green.
Mr. Justice Sankey: Was the stuff meant to turn the hair green? (Laughter.)
Counsel: No; black, my lord.
Mr. Pendry, the story continued, went back to the Maison Radisi- to see what could be done about ber hair.
She was supplied with four more bottles, and the following day ber skin again became affected-worae than before. She had to call in the
doctor..
She had to cover her face with p mask of cottonwool, with holes for. the eyes and mouth, and 'could not sleep at night.
