Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Misty Mate is recalling about 9,000 Misty 2.5-ounce high pressure personal misters because they can shatter during use. This defect poses a risk of laceration to anyone nearby, with two reports of the misters shattering already received, including one report of minor cuts. These 8-inch tall misters feature a clear plastic water cylinder with a blue base and top and were sold exclusively at Hibbet Sports stores between May 2013 and July 2013. Consumers should stop using the product immediately and return it to Misty Mate for a full refund.

Risk

The plastic cylinder of the personal mister can shatter under high pressure during use. If the unit bursts, sharp plastic fragments can be projected at the user, causing lacerations or other impact injuries.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your personal mister to see if it is the Misty Mate 2.5-ounce model, which stands approximately 8 inches tall with a clear plastic cylinder, blue base and top, and a blue nylon carrying strap.
  2. Identify the affected unit by measuring the cylinder diameter; the recalled misters measure between 1.25 and 1.5 inches in diameter and have a horizontal 'fill' line printed on the side.
  3. Stop using the recalled personal mister immediately to avoid the risk of the unit shattering.
  4. Contact Misty Mate at (800) 233-6478 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday, or visit www.mistymate.com and click 'Press Releases' for instructions on how to return the product for a full refund.
