For those spray paint do-it-yourselfers, before you pick up that aerosol can, make sure it's not one of three products recalled by Sherwin-Williams this week: Those canisters can leak and pose a fire hazard. Speaking of burns, 260,000 Energizer night lights sold exclusively at Target can overheat, posing a burn hazard to consumers, and probably freaking out your little one more than being in the dark. If you own a 2012 Chevrolet Sonic and you can't get your windshield clean, you might want to get the windshield wipers checked since nearly 45,000 of these vehicles were recalled because of a defect with the connection to the washer fluid.
Read on for these and other recalls.
Sherwin-Williams recalled three products this week, all because their aerosol paint canisters can leak and pose a fire hazard if stored or used near an ignition source. Consumers may contact Sherwin-Williams at (888) 304-3769 for a refund:
- Tree House Acrylic Coating, 17,850 units, sold exclusively at Hobby Lobby between July 2011 and June 2012;
- Krylon Glaze and Acrylic Coating, 98,400 units, sold at Ace Hardware, Ben Franklin, Do It Best Corp., Kmart, Lowes, Pat Catan's, Walmart and other retail stores nationwide between July 2011 and June 2012; and
- Dupli-Color Perfect Match Automotive Paint, about 2,700 units, sold at Advance Auto, Autozone, Discount Auto Parts, General Automotive Supply, NAPA, Pep Boys and other retail stores between July 2011 and June 2012.
Energizer recalled some 260,000 Energizer Rotating Night Lights, sold exclusively at Target stores nationwide from February 2010 through July 2012. The company has received nine reports of the night lights overheating, including three reports of minor property damage. No injuries have been reported, but the recall also cautions against a burn hazard to consumers. Owners should unplug these items immediately and contact Energizer at (800) 383-7323 for instructions on returning the night lights for a $7 coupon towards the purchase of an Energizer product.
Chevrolet recalled 44,668 2012 Sonic vehicles manufactured from May 5, 2011, through February 24, 2012 because the windshield wiper washer hose may separate from the washer fluid reservoir, making the fluid unavailable for use. GM will notify owners, beginning on or about September 7, 2012, and dealers will secure the windshield washer hose to prevent separation, free of charge. Owners may contact the Chevrolet owner center at 1-866-694-6546.
