Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Prestone Products is recalling two windshield treatment products because their trigger spray assemblies can be removed from the bottles by twisting the neck shroud counter-clockwise. The recalled products are Prestone Windshield De-Icer (SKU AS-246) sold in a clear yellow 32-ounce bottle with a black nozzle tip, and Prestone Ice & Frost Shield (SKU AS-247) sold in a clear yellow 32-ounce bottle with a yellow trigger pull. Both products contain methanol and ethylene glycol, and children could potentially access these toxic chemicals if they remove the trigger assembly, creating a poisoning hazard.

According to the recall, consumers should inspect their bottles to determine if the trigger assembly can be removed by twisting the neck shroud counter-clockwise. If the trigger assembly can be removed, consumers should contact Prestone to receive a replacement trigger assembly that cannot be removed once engaged. The recall also advises keeping all products containing hazardous chemicals out of reach and sight of children.
