What happened

Thompson's Company is recalling Thompson's WaterSeal waterproofing wood and masonry protectors sold in 11-ounce aerosol cans with green or blue caps. The contents can react with the can material, causing rust to form along the seam. This rust can spread and create pinhole leaks in the can, allowing propellant to escape. When the leaking propellant contacts a source of ignition, it poses a fire hazard. Leaking sealer can also cause property damage.

The recalled products include Thompson's WaterSeal Waterproofing Wood Protector Aerosol (Item #TH.041800-18, UPC 032053418006), Thompson's WaterSeal Signature Series Aerosol (Item #TH.091800-18, UPC 032053918001), Thompson's WaterSeal Waterproofer Plus Wood Protector Aerosol (Item #TH.011800-18, UPC 032053118005), and Thompson's WaterSeal Waterproofer Plus Masonry Protector Aerosol (Item #TH.023100-18, UPC 032053231001). Consumers should immediately stop using these products, discard them in accordance with local requirements, and contact The Thompson's Company for a full refund.
