Recalled Rain-X Glass Cleaner and Washer Fluid

Description

The recalled products include three brands: Rain-X® Super Glass Cleaner Concentrate, which was sold in 10-oz. and 16.9-oz. plastic bottles, is a blue concentrated liquid that should be added to water; Rain-X® Plus Washer Fluid Concentrate, which was sold in 10-oz. and 16.9-oz. plastic bottles and single-use 1.2-oz. pouches, is a pink concentrated liquid that also should be added to water; and Rain-X® Washer Fluid Additive, which was sold in single-use 2-oz. pouches. The Glass Cleaner and Washer Fluid bottles have a measuring cup built into the cap. A label on the back of the products reads in part, "Blue Coral Slick 50 Ltd." and "Made in USA." Rain-X® Washer Fluid Additive sold in 10-oz. and 16.9-oz. yellow bottles is not subject to this recall.

Hazards

The products, which contain methyl alcohol, are not sealed with child-resistant closures, as required by federal law. Methyl alcohol, also known as methanol, is toxic and can cause blindness or death if ingested.

Reported injuries

Blue Coral has received three reports of ingestion, including two children whose parents called the Blue Coral help line and were directed to immediate medical treatment.

Remedy

Consumers should keep these recalled products out of the reach of young children. Consumers should call Blue Coral for information on receiving replacement child-resistant caps and a coupon toward a Rain-X® product.
