Yes, this was the same issue from years ago.
Joy disappeared for a long time after first selling Clean Boss and people getting in an uproar over the smell.
Some here and on the HSN forum thought it was the downfall of her company.
Then she returned with the product for sale on her own website and eventually returned to HSN.
I thought maybe they toned down the smell.
Guess not.
From Clean Boss:
Powered by Thymol, a derivative of Thyme Oil found naturally in the Thyme Plant. CleanBoss Disinfectant has no bleach, no chlorine, no ammonia, no phosphates, no phthalates, no formaldehyde, no petroleum, no heavy metals, no parabens, no dyes, no caustic fumes, no toxic or harsh or caustic chemicals. Safe for food contact surfaces, no rinse required, CleanBoss has all of the power and none of the scary warnings.
It's the Thymol in Clean Boss that people have an issue with.
From Google:
"Thymol isn't the best-smelling substance you'll ever encounter. It's described as phenolic, medicinal, camphor, woody, and spicy. Some people find this odor downright offensive, especially if used in large amounts."
