What was recalled

This recall involves AirWick Fresh New Day aerosol air fresheners in 8-ounce aerosol cans in "Fresh Linen" scent (blue and white can, white cap, green Airwick logo, UPC 0-62338-74734-7) and "Fresh Waters" scent (green and white can, white cap, green Airwick logo, UPC 0-62338-77002-4) with batch code B22077-NJ and date code 18/03/22. The batch and date codes are printed on the bottom of the can, and the UPC is printed on the rear label, adjacent to the barcode.

Hazard

A single batch of the aerosol air fresheners is missing a corrosion inhibitor, which can lead to corrosion and rupture of the metal can and expulsion of the contents, posing injury and laceration hazards. In addition, corrosion of the container can result in leakage, posing a risk of skin and eye irritation upon contact.

Injuries

The firm has received five incident reports including two reports of the can leaking, two reports of the can rupturing and one report of both the can leaking and rupturing. No injuries have been reported.
