Description
This recall involves the Meguiar's Heavy Duty Headlight Sealant, which is included in the Meguiar's Heavy Duty Headlight Restoration Kit, product number G2980. The headlight sealant comes in a 2.5-ounce amber glass bottle and has "Headlight Sealant" in black lettering on a yellow background and "Heavy Duty" and "Meguiar's" printed on the label. Only headlight sealant packaged in an amber glass bottle are part of the recall.
Hazard
The recalled headlight sealant contains low-viscosity hydrocarbons which must be in child resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA).
