Tile Perfect Inc. Announces Recall of 300,000 Cans of "Stand'n Seal Grout Sealer" Due to Respiratory Problems
On August 31st, Tile Perfect, a division of Roanoke Companies Group Inc., of Aurora, Illinois announced the recall of approximately 300,000 cans of Stand'n Seal "Spray-On" Grout Sealer sold in 2005.
According to reports received by the company and the government, the product's odor is not chemically pungent enough to force consumers to minimize their exposure to the fumes - the odor and immediate effect seems mild enough that consumers may assume it's normal. Consumers overexposed to these fumes can experience respiratory-related illness.
Stand'n Seal Spray-on Grout Sealer contains hydrocarbon-based chemicals that are toxic and can affect the resiratory system. Inhaling these chemicals can cause damage to your lungs, pneumonitis, and even death.
There have been 88 reports from consumers who have had adverse reactions after using the aerosol product. This includes 28 confirmed reports of overexposure resulting in respiratory symptoms for which medical attention was required for coughing, irritation, difficulty breathing, dizziness and disorientation. Thirteen individuals had symptoms severe enough to warrant immediate medical treatment including overnight hospitalization.
Other symptoms include vomiting, convulsions, loss of consciousness, speech loss, memory loss, and central nervous system depression.
The product is marketed under the brand name of Tile Perfect™ Stand'n Seal "Spray-On" Grout Sealer. The date/lot codes are 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. Units with other date/lot codes have been reformulated and are not subject to this recall.
Manufactured in the United States, the product was sold exclusively at Home Depot Stores from April 2005 through June 2005 costing about $10. Consumers should not use the aerosol product at all and immediately return it to a Home Depot store for a full refund.
Please Note: The Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center, in Denver, CO, recently informed Roanoke Companies Group that two people had been hospitalized after using Stand'n Seal Grout Sealer, which resulted in this voluntary recall.
