Reckitt AirWick Fresh Linen and Fresh Water Aerosol Air Fresheners
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
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.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Risk of severe physical injury.
