A lawyer for the production company behind s Netflix show has responded to a diabetic woman who alleged that left her with "catastrophic burns" and "cosmetic distress".

Maryland-based Robin Patrick spoke about her alleged injuries and sent pictures to . She said the Duchess of Sussex's bath salt recipe - consisting of Epsom salt, arnica oil, lavender oil, pink Himalayan salt, and dried flowers - caused "significant pain and cosmetic distress", when she tried to indulge in a bath soak using them. She said: "The pain feels as though it is burning from within," and accused Meghan for having a "duty of care" to provide "adequate warnings" to viewers.

Now, according to , a lawyer from Intellectual Property Corporation's (IPC), Cameron Stracher, has responded to her allegations. He said: "None of the parties responsible for the Series, including the entities you list in your letter, owe you a particular duty of care because you do not have a special relationship with any of them as a matter of law. There is nothing inherently dangerous about a mixture of salts, arnica oil, and essential oil. Thus, because the recipe for the bath salts that allegedly caused your injuries does not constitute a 'clear and present danger' to the public, you cannot pierce the First Amendment protections for speech by bringing a negligence claim against the entities that you threaten. It was not foreseeable that you would disregard the instructions on the Epsom salt packaging in attempting to make and use your own bath salts. For this separate reason, there can be no negligence claim against anyone involved in the production or distribution of the Series."

People with diabetes are generally discouraged from using bath salts, with noting: "People with diabetes often have dry feet or nerve damage that results from diabetic neuropathy. When wounds such as blisters develop, they can take a long time to heal, and they can get worse quickly. Prolonged soaking can also open small cracks that may be present in the skin, allowing germs to enter."
