No one hurt Made Jul 28, 2012, sent to the company Aug 9, 2012, published by CPSC Aug 30, 2012
The product, in the report: Ortho Home Defense Max Insect Killer, For Indoor/Perimeter, up to 12 month control. 1.33Gallon/5Liter bottle with handheld sprayer.
Product was Ortho Home Defense Max Insect Killer, in the 1.33Gal/5L bottle, with a hand held sprayer. Bar code was 7154901974, and the printed (lot number?) was I11343/FI/3/2. Purchased 1-2 months ago at Lowes in Augusta, GA. Bottle was appx. 2/3rds used at time of incident.
The hand held sprayer wand has a large, spring loaded plunger, which is drawn back to build pressure for continuous spraying. While using the sprayer, I drew back the plunger, and the red plastic hand piece split/burst open, resulting in a few ounces of the product spilling out. In addition, the spring inside the sprayer released suddenly, causing some of the pesticide to splatter on me and the surrounding area.
