According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), antifreeze bottles labeled as Shop Pro RV & Marine Antifreeze have been recalled.
According to the CPSC, the bottles were improperly filled with a product containing methanol, and do not have the mandatory cautionary label for products containing methanol warnings, including that the vapors are harmful and the product can be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed. Also, the directions on the bottle for properly flushing a potable water system can fail to adequately remove the methanol, presenting a risk of ingestion. Products containing methanol pose a poisoning hazard through inhalation or if ingested.
The recall involves Shop Pro RV & Marine Antifreeze products manufactured by Prestone for AutoZone. Only bottles filled with blue fluid in one-gallon, clear bottles with date code FT21281 on the bottom of the bottle below the back label are included in the recall. Bottles filled with pink liquid are properly labeled and can be used.
Consumers and others should call Prestone toll-free at 866-625-5322 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST or go online to www.prestone.com/recall.
