Rust-Oleum is recalling its Professional Fluorescent Pink Inverted Marking Spray Paint cans due to a defect in which the nozzle can come detached during use and cause an impact injury. The Consumer Product Safety Commission’s recall notice explains that the spray valve assembly can “detach with force.”
There have been five reports of the spray valve and plastic cap becoming detached, causing paint to splatter. But no injuries have been reported so far.
Facility managers who purchased the spray paint cans should immediately stop using them, take a photo of the product and the date code on the bottom of the can, wrap the product in a plastic bag, and place it out of reach of children. They can then contact Rust-Oleum for a refund.
Facility managers will be asked to provide the photos of the product and the date code on the bottom of the can, and name and mailing address to receive the refund. They should then dispose of the recalled product in accordance with local requirements.
