Pesticide News Story: Consumer Alert: Insecticide Voluntary Recovery Effort Underway - Consumers Urged to Follow Manufacturer's Instructions for Disposal and Full Value Replacement
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been informed by S.C.
Johnson Company that they are recovering two specific lots of Raid®
Flying Insect Killer due to their unacceptable performance. While there
have been no reports of injury or damage to property, tests show that
the aerosol cans may not spray an appropriate amount of the insecticide
and therefore reduce its effectiveness. The company also believes that
some cans in question could develop leaks over time. EPA encourages consumers
who have aerosol cans of Raid® Flying Insect Killer (EPA Registration
Number 4822-513) marked with lot numbers 225 or 226 on the bottom of the
can to call the S.C. Johnson Hotline at 1-800-294-3632 for disposal instructions
and full value replacement coupons. All other lot numbers of Raid®
Flying Insect Killer and other Raid® products are not involved in
this voluntary recovery, and consumers may continue using those products
according to label instructions. You may review the manufacturer’s

EPA applauds S.C. Johnson for its product stewardship in this voluntary
recovery effort.
