Grout Sealer Recall

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with Roanoke Companies Group Inc., announced a voluntary recall last month of approximately 300,000 cans of Stand’n Seal “Spray-On” Grout Sealer sold earlier this year.
The sealer, distributed by Tile Perfect and sold at Home Depot outlets from April-June, can cause respiratory-related illnesses with overexposure to fumes.
The CPSC noted 88 reports from consumers with adverse reactions after using the aerosol product, including 28 confirmed reports of overexposure resulting in respiratory symptoms for which medical attention was sought for coughing, irritation, difficulty breathing, dizziness and disorientation.
Thirteen individuals required medical treatment, including overnight hospitalization.
The Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center in Denver informed Roanoke Companies Group that two people had been hospitalized after using Stand’n Seal Grout Sealer, which led to the recall.
The product is marketed under the brand name of Tile Perfect™ Stand’n Seal “Spray-On” Grout Sealer, with the date/lot codes printed on the bottom of the can. All cans with date/lot codes starting with the following six digits are included in the recall: A20985; A30985; A10995; A20995; A30995; A11015; A21015; A31015; A11025; A21445; A31445; A11455; A21455; A31455; A11465; A21465.
Consumers should not use the aerosol product with any of the above date/lot codes, and return it to the Home Depot for a full refund.
Units with other date/lot codes have been reformulated and are not subject to this recall.
