Emergency room Made Jun 2, 2024, sent to the company Jun 5, 2024, published by CPSC Jun 20, 2024
The product, in the report: Walkoff, graffiti removal product made by Watts Removal Products. Comes in 1-gallon and spray bottles. Link: https://wattsremoval.com/products/bare-brick-graffiti-remover
Inadequate safety precautions and negligent training material for highly caustic substance. A worker received chemical burns that required emergency medical attention when using the Walkoff graffiti removal product made by Watts Removal Products. The product was used in accordance with the safety instructions and training videos provided by Watts Removal Products. The core issue is the Walkoff product comes in spray bottles, and is encouraged to be used in spray bottles. However, the mist and bounce-back from using a spray bottle is sufficient to cause serious chemical burns on skin. The safety instructions do no include warnings are about arm protection, and the training videos produced by Watts Removal Products show workers using the product in spray bottle form without sleeve protection. Communications of the issue were made with Watts Removal Company. It does not appear the company is interested in self-correcting the obvious issue.
