The Thompson’s Company has recalled approximately 852,000 Thompson's WaterSeal aerosol cans used for waterproofing exterior wood and masonry. The product can react with the packaging, causing the can seam to rust and develop pinhole leaks. This defect allows flammable propellant to escape, which can ignite if it reaches a spark or flame. These 11-ounce cans with green or blue caps were sold nationwide at stores like Lowe's, Home Depot, and Walmart between February 2014 and September 2019. Consumers can receive a full refund from the manufacturer.
Leaking propellant from the rusted cans poses a serious fire hazard when it comes into contact with ignition sources. Additionally, the leaking sealer fluid can cause damage to property surrounding the storage area.
Consumers should immediately stop using Thompson's WaterSeal Waterproofing Wood Protector and Masonry Protector in aerosol cans, discard the products in accordance with local requirements and contact The Thompson's Company for a full refund.
