Prestone Products is recalling approximately 687,000 one-gallon bottles of various antifreeze and coolant products sold under the Prestone, AutoZone, Highline/Prime Guard, Supertech, Prime, and Starfire brands. These products contain ethylene glycol, a toxic substance that requires child-resistant packaging; however, the caps were not properly tightened during manufacturing to engage the safety mechanism. These bottles were sold at major retailers like Walmart, Home Depot, and AutoZone from January 2020 through May 2020 for between $10 and $22. No injuries have been reported to date, but the defect allows easy access to the contents by young children.
The failure of the child-resistant cap mechanism allows children to easily open the bottles and ingest the ethylene glycol inside. If swallowed, this substance can cause severe poisoning or death in young children.
Consumers should immediately inspect the product and twist the cap to ensure the child resistant mechanism is engaged.
