Wet & Forget USA has recalled about 2.7 million bottles of "Xtreme Reach" Outdoor Mold & Mildew Stain Remover due to a defect in the hose end nozzle. The clip on the nozzle can dislodge, causing the cleaning solution to spray unexpectedly onto the user. The firm has received over 3,000 reports of the nozzle insert dislodging, including 28 reports of skin or eye irritation from chemical exposure. The affected stain remover was sold at retailers nationwide, including Home Depot, Lowe's, and Walmart, from February 2018 through November 2023. Consumers should stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement nozzle.
The hose end nozzle clip can break or dislodge while the product is being sprayed, allowing the chemical cleaning solution to spray back onto the user's face and body. This poses a significant risk of skin and eye irritation and other injuries from chemical exposure.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Wet & Forget "Xtreme Reach" Outdoor Mold & Mildew Stain Remover with Hose End Nozzle and contact the firm for a free replacement nozzle. Consumers should not resume use of the stain remover until the replacement nozzle has been installed. Once replaced, the original nozzle should be discarded.
