React Modal Does Not Close In Between Loading Content

I'm using this react modal plugin: https://github.com/reactjs/react-modal and I need to show an array of objects in the modal on page load. When the first item shows user clicks a button so isOpen prop is set to false for Modal. Each item has a prop showModal that feeds the value to isOpen for the Modal. As the user keeps clicking I keep setting the value on the current object to false and then set it true for the next object. This is all working fine but the problem is that the overlay and dialog window stays on screen and only content within the modal is updated. I would like the modal to fully close and open to show content of the next object in array. I had to strip out my code to a simplified version below:

class ProductsModal extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.remindMeHandler = this.remindMeHandler.bind(this);

    this.state = {
      products: [],
      modalId: 0
    };
  }

showModals() {
    let products = this.state.products;
    //A different function saves the array of product objects in the state so 
    //I can show them one by one

    let currentProduct = products[this.state.popUpId];

    if (products.length > 0) {
      return <ProductItemModal 
              product={currentProduct}
              showNextPopUp={() => this.showNextPopUp(currentProduct.productId)}
              showPopUp={currentProduct['showModal']}
              />;
    //showModal is a boolean for each product that sets the value of isOpen
    }
  }

  showNextPopUp() {
      //All this does is sets the "showModal" property to false for current 
     //product and sets it to true for next product so it shows in the Modal
  }


render() {
    return(
      <div>
        {this.showModals()}
      </div>
    );
  }
}

class ProductItemModal extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
  }

  render() {
    return(
      <Modal 
        isOpen={this.props.showModal}
        contentLabel="Product"
        id={this.props.product.productId}
        >
        <div>
         Product Data......
        </div>
      </Modal>
    );
  }
}
