Krud Kutter Recalls Adhesive Removers Due to Failure to Meet Child Resistant Closure and Cautionary Labeling Requirements

The packaging is not child resistant as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act and the labeling on the product violates the Federal Hazardous Substances Act because it does not warn of the hazard presented. The adhesive remover contains petroleum distillates, which pose aspiration and poisoning hazards if swallowed.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled adhesive removers and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund.

This recall involves Krud Kutter Decal & Adhesive Remover and Krud Kutter Ultra Power Specialty Adhesive Remover. The decal adhesive remover came in a clear plastic eight-ounce bottle with a purple flip-open top. The front of the bottle has a yellow and purple label with the Krud Kutter Earth Friendly logo and the words “Safe on Clearcoats!,” “Removes adhesive, asphalt, decals, road tar & more,” “Decal & Adhesive Remover” and “Biodegradable.” An image of a black sports car with a flame decal on it are also on the label. The specialty adhesive remover came in 8-ounce, 16-ounce and 32-ounce clear plastic bottles. The 8-ounce bottle has a purple flip-open top. The two larger bottles have purple trigger spray tops. The front of the bottles have a purple and yellow label with the Krud Kutter Earth Friendly logo and the words “Professional Strength,” “Krud Kutter,” Ultra Power Special Adhesive Remover,” “Removes Adhesive, Caulk, Foam, Mastic, Silicone, Roofing Tar & More” and “Biodegradable.” The recalled adhesive removers have product numbers PU08, UP08, UP16 and UP32 and were manufactured from October 2014 to July 2015. The product numbers can be found on the product label on the back of the product under the Krud Kutter Inc. contact information.
