The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Sherwin Williams announced a voluntary recall of Krylon “Outdoor Spaces” UV Fabric Protector.

Consumers should stop using recalled product immediately unless otherwise instructed.

Overexposure to fumes, vapor or spray mist from the product can pose a serious respiratory hazard to consumers.

Sherwin-Williams has received one 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 fabric protector was sold at Wal-Mart, Ace Hardware and other retail stores nationwide from January 2006 through September 2008 for about $7.

Consumers should immediately stop using the product and return it to the store where purchased for a full refund.

It's odd they'd recall the product based on a single report. Makes one wonder if the hospitalization was due to something coincidental with using the product, or if the person was huffing the product.
