Chemical burn from Galeria Acrylic paint
I have been a loyal user of Winsor & Newton products for years, but my recent experience with their Galeria Acrylics has been extremely disappointing. After using the paints, I experienced a severe chemical burn that lasted a week—something I’ve never encountered with other acrylic brands, including Winsor & Newton’s Professional Acrylic range. I stored the paints correctly and used them as intended, yet when I reported the issue, their customer support refused to take responsibility, simply stating that their tests showed no issue. Their only advice was to "wear gloves," which is not standard practice for acrylic paints. To make matters worse, they refused to offer any resolution because I purchased from a retailer rather than directly from them. A company of this reputation should take product safety concerns seriously, rather than deflecting blame onto customers. Disappointing experience—I will be reconsidering future purchases.
