Respiratory Hazard Prompts Recall of Sherwin-Williams Krylon UV Fabric Protector

One Person Hospitalized

About 75,000 cans of Krylon "Outdoor Spaces" UV Fabric Protector made by Sherwin-Williams Co, are being recalled because overexposure to fumes, vapor or spray mist from the product can pose a serious respiratory hazard to consumers. To date, Sherwin-Williams has received 1 report of an incident involving a consumer who experienced coughing and difficulty breathing requiring overnight hospitalization.

The recall involves Krylon "Outdoor Spaces" UV Fabric Protector, which is an aerosol coating used to protect fabric. The part number (#2900) is printed above the UPC (724504029007) on the side of the can. The front of the 11-ounce aerosol can is tan with a picture of a patio containing outdoor furniture. "UV Fabric Protector" and "Outdoor Spaces" are also printed on the front of the can.

The UV fabric protector was sold at Wal-Mart, Ace Hardware and other retail stores nationwide from January 2006 through September 2008 for about $7.
