What happened

Formby's Conditioning Furniture Refinisher, a 32-ounce wood furniture refinishing product sold in metal cans and as part of Formby's "Introduction to Refinishing Kit," is being recalled because the product and its vapors can seep or leak from the nozzle base at the top of the can, posing a risk of fire and chemical injuries. The recalled product appears on burgundy and green cans with white lettering reading "Formby's Furniture Workshop" and "Furniture Refinisher," featuring an image of Homer Formby. Affected cans have lot number codes printed in black ink on the bottom with one of these sequences: A961600, A961610, A961620, A961630, A967270, or A969330.

Consumers with affected product should stop using it immediately and place it in a well-ventilated area, keeping the container upright to prevent spilling and storing it away from ignition sources such as gas-fueled appliances. According to the record, consumers should call for instructions on how to handle and return the refinisher for replacement or a refund.
