No one hurt Made Jul 9, 2020, sent to the company Jul 31, 2020, published by CPSC Aug 14, 2020
The product, in the report: 10 ounce spray can, WD40 Specialist Protective White Lithuum Grease.
The aerosol can Of WD40 white lithium grease would not spray out the nozzle. While trying to work the nozzle into position with the nozzle pointed away from me, the can shot into my face. Fortunately I was wearing glasses. I normally would not stop to use safety glasses to lubricate a hinge. This nozzle is very temperamental and the failure mode sprays grease in unexpected directions. I am an engineer and a mechanic and well versed in workplace safety. The old push button nozzle with a plastic tube was much, MUCH safer, IMHO. At least you knew where the line of fire was.
