The product, in the report: Brenntag Mid-South Muriatic Acid 1 gallon jug
Swimming pool acid (muriatic acid) comes in gallon jugs. The jugs have a safety seal. This seal consists of two layers - paper or thin foam on top, and a thin layer of cellophane plastic onderneath. The seal has no tab, meaning that the consumer must use a fingernail to remove the seal, Often the foam layer separates from the cellophane, the underside of which usually has acid on it.
Removing the safety seal without a tool, unless managed very carefully, will result in the consumer getting concentrated muriatic acid on their fingertips.
This problem was noted on Brenntag Mid-South Muriatic Acid, but I believe this problem is consistent across the industry.
