5-gallon sizes of "Zep Industrial Purple Cleaner & Degreaser," and "Zep Heavy Duty Floor Stripper"
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Zep-brand cleaning products sold in 5-gallon white pails at Home Depot are being recalled because the plastic containers can crack and leak corrosive liquids. The recall affects two products: Zep Industrial Purple Cleaner & Degreaser and Zep Heavy Duty Floor Stripper. Each product has specific batch codes that identify the affected pails, which are printed on the side of the container.
Consumers who have recalled pails should stop using them and contact Acuity Specialty Products Group Inc. for a free replacement pail. If a pail is leaking, consumers should place it inside another 5-gallon pail or large plastic bag, then transfer the contents to a new container while wearing gloves and eye protection. Any spilled material should be absorbed with a solid absorbent, swept up, and placed in a solid waste container, then the area should be rinsed with clean water until no residue remains.
