Yikes! Fan Slaps Meghan Markle With Burning Legal Action Over Saucy Recipe
Ouch! You won't believe it, but a US woman named Robin Patrick is threatening to sue Meghan Markle for causing some major burns. And guess what? It's all because of a DIY bath salt recipe promoted in Meghan's Netflix show, With Love, Meghan.
Patrick, a Maryland resident, claimed to have followed the recipe, which mixed up Epsom salt, arnica oil, lavender oil, pink Himalayan salt, and dried flowers. With Dumbo-like anticipation, she hopped into the tub only to find herself screaming like Jane after being attacked by the flying elephant.
"Boy, oh boy! As the water level crept up to cover my legs, I got the mother of all shocks," said Patrick, who has diabetes. "Before I knew it, my legs and derriere were ablaze with burning and discomfort."
Petrified, Patrick leaped out of the tub faster than you can say "reheated leftovers smell better than they taste." However, the agony didn't stop there. While stirring the bathwater to assess the culprit, she felt additional burns on her hand and arm. No relief came after applying Gold Bond lotion, and the shower that night turned into a bloody mary nightmare.
"You could hear the sizzle of burnt flesh as the water hit my vulnerable skin," Patrick added, claiming that Meghan had a duty to warn the world about the dangerous volcano sitting in their tubs.
Additional Drama
According to The Independent, Patrick is planning to sue Meghan Markle, Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC), Netflix, and Archewell Productions (that's Meghan and Prince Harry's media company) for a whopping Rs 85 crore ($10 million) in punitive damages.
IPC's attorney, Cameron Stracher, responded to the claims by pointing out that none of the parties were responsible for Patrick's actions. "Nobody asked you to play with fire, darling," said Stracher in a fierce statement. "There's nothing dangerous about a mixture of salts, oils, and flowers, provided you don't mix them like whiskey."
What the heck is going on with Meghan's show?
With Love, Meghan debuted in the US on March 4, giving viewers a glimpse into Markle's luxurious life in Montecito, California. Celebrity visitors flocked to her place like moths to a fabulous flame, hoping to pick up some of her magic sparkle.

This issue could lead to discussions about the responsibilities of celebrity influencers in their creative content.
- Despite the popularity of Meghan Markle's health-and-wellness recommendations, such as her cosmetic skin-care DIY bath salt recipe on Netflix's "With Love, Meghan," there may be hidden risks like skin irritation and burns due to incorrect use or improper mixing of ingredients.
- Science suggests that neglecting safety precautions when handling or combining essential oils, different types of salts, and flowers for bath products could lead to adverse health effects, as one Maryland resident, Robin Patrick, experienced when she suffered burns after following Meghan's recipe.
- As celebrities like Meghan Markle increasingly power the health-and-wellness entertainment industry, their responsibilities to warn the public about potential dangers in their promotional content may come under scrutiny, as evidenced by Patrick's allegations of negligence against Markle and multiple production companies over her burn injuries.
- The increasing influence of celebrities in the health-and-wellness landscape, from skin-care to cosmetic recipes, highlights the need for thorough research and safety precautions when trying new products, especially considering the potential legal consequences of manufacturer negligence that may result in personal injury.
