Recalled Thompson’s WaterSeal Aerosol Wood and Masonry Protectors
Why is it being recalled? (Hazard)
The contents of the cans can react with the package, causing rust to form along the can seam, which could spread to other areas of the can and create pinhole leaks. Leaking propellant poses a fire hazard when it comes into contact with sources of ignition. Leaking sealer can also result in property damage.
What should I do? (Remedy)
Consumers should immediately stop using Thompson's WaterSeal Waterproofing Wood Protector and Masonry Protector in aerosol cans, discard the products in accordance with local requirements and contact The Thompson's Company for a full refund.
