Prestone has recalled approximately 325 one-gallon bottles of Shop Pro RV & Marine Antifreeze sold exclusively at AutoZone stores nationwide during October 2021. The affected bottles were improperly filled with a product containing methanol and lack required safety warnings for this toxic substance. Consumers who have the recalled blue fluid should stop using it immediately and contact Prestone for a full refund and disposal instructions.
The product contains methanol, which poses a poisoning hazard if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin; it can cause blindness or death if swallowed. Furthermore, standard flushing directions on the label may not effectively remove the methanol from potable water systems, leading to a risk of ingestion.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled antifreeze and contact Prestone for a full refund and instructions on how to properly dispose of the product. Consumers who have already used the mislabeled product in any potable water system, SHOULD NOT DRINK WATER FROM THE SYSTEM and immediately contact Prestone Products for instructions on how to properly flush their water system.
