Summary

Approximately 2,700 cans of Dupli-Color Perfect Match™ automotive paint in green metallic are being recalled because the aerosol canister can leak. This leakage creates a serious fire hazard if the paint is stored near anything that could cause a spark or flame. These 8-ounce spray cans were sold at various automotive parts retailers between July 2011 and June 2012 for about $7. Consumers should immediately stop using the product and contact Sherwin-Williams for a full refund.
