Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Krud Kutter Inc. is recalling approximately 85,000 units of Decal & Adhesive Remover and Ultra Power Specialty Adhesive Remover. These products contain petroleum distillates and were sold in packaging that is not child-resistant, violating the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. Additionally, the labels fail to include required safety warnings regarding the chemical hazards. The affected cleaners were sold nationwide at The Home Depot and other hardware stores, as well as online, between October 2014 and September 2015. No incidents or injuries have been reported, but consumers should immediately stop using these products and return them for a full refund.

Risk

The adhesive removers contain petroleum distillates, which pose a serious poisoning and aspiration hazard if swallowed by children. Because the bottles lack child-resistant closures and adequate warning labels, there is an increased risk of accidental ingestion.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your product by checking the front label for 'Krud Kutter Decal & Adhesive Remover' or 'Krud Kutter Ultra Power Specialty Adhesive Remover' in 8-ounce, 16-ounce, or 32-ounce clear plastic bottles with purple tops.
  2. Check the back of the bottle for product numbers PU08, UP08, UP16, or UP32 located under the contact information, and verify the date code printed in black ink above the label.
  3. Confirm if your 8 oz Decal & Adhesive Remover (PU08) has date codes: PW4O271 001, PW4O281 001, PW4N181 002, PW54111 002, or PW5413 003.
  4. Confirm if your 8 oz Ultra Power Specialty Adhesive Remover (UP08) has date codes: PW4N191 002, PW4N201 002, PW57141 005, PW57151 006, PW57161 006, or PW57171 006.
  5. Confirm if your 16 oz Ultra Power Specialty Adhesive Remover (UP16) has date codes: PW4O231 001, PW4N181 002, PW4D091 004, PW56151 004, PW56161 004, or PW57141 005.
  6. Confirm if your 32 oz Ultra Power Specialty Adhesive Remover (UP32) has date codes: PW55041 003 or PW55051 003.
  7. Immediately stop using the recalled adhesive removers and keep them out of reach of children.
  8. Return the product to the store where it was purchased for a full refund, or contact Krud Kutter at 800-908-4050 between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. CT Monday through Friday for more information.
