The product, in the report: a very thick paint for applying to old cracked decks.
Home Depot did a huge ad campaign last year about their new Behr Deck-Over deck paint. I bought it and applied it per their instructions last Summer. It is very thick and gluey to apply and leaves a thick coating. By this Spring it was all starting to flake off. The flakes are big like potato chips and they are everywhere and I caught my 2 year old granddaughter eating them several times. I complained to Home Depot and they had Behr (their wholly owned paint division) refund the cost of the paint, but I noticed they were not selling the stuff anymore. Behr also requires that you send them your original receipt which makes me wonder if they are trying to avoid further liability. Then I went on the internet and see hundreds and hundreds of identical complaints about the stuff with a lot of them saying little kids are eating these flakes. This site is just an example... http://behr-paint.pissedconsumer.com/home-depot-s-behr-deck-over-was-a-disaster-20140610495873.html. Giving people their money back is not good enough. If this stuff is poisonous they should be forced to help people remove it and paying for these kids to get checked out medically. Who knows what chemicals my granddaughter has been eating. Don’t let Home Depot skirt responsibility for this. When I complained to their headquarters they just direct ed me to Behr. But Behr is part of Home Depot.
