Hurt, care not known Made Sep 1, 2016, sent to the company Sep 26, 2016, published by CPSC Oct 11, 2016
The product, in the report: Ace Home & Garden Tank Sprayer 1-gallon Model: 7215023
I purchased the Ace sprayer as a backup for the sprayer I was using. It was purchased a year or 2 ago but is still being sold by the company. It is sold under the Ace name as well as the manufacturer. This product is a safety hazard. It is used to spray weed killers which should not come in contact with the person using it. This is impossible with the design of this product. There is no release valve. The top is unscrewed to release the pressure in it. When the top is unscrewed the contents of the tank spray up at your face. There is no way to avoid this. They instruct the user to turn the tank to the side to unscrew it but it still sprays in your face. With this design it would have to be upside down but then of course it would leak out of the top. I tried releasing the wok-shaped top several times using water and was sprayed in my face and upper body every time. My old tank sprayer manufactured by [REDACTED] also, had a top lid that completely covers the top opening of the tank. When the pressure is released by opening the top the air sprays down due to the lid. This is the only way it should be allowed to be manufactured. I’ve enclosed a picture of the new cork-type lid.
