Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Meguiar's has recalled about 140,000 units of Heavy Duty Headlight Sealant because the packaging does not meet federal child-resistant standards. The sealant, which is sold as part of a restoration kit (product number G2980), contains hydrocarbons that can be poisonous if swallowed by young children. No injuries have been reported, but the product was sold in amber glass bottles that lack required safety caps.

Risk

The sealant contains low-viscosity hydrocarbons and lacks child-resistant packaging, posing a serious risk of poisoning to young children if the contents are swallowed.
