What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that the cans pose a risk of serious injury and reports one incident resulting in a laceration injury, which aligns with the rubric criteria for significant injury reports.

Plain-English summary

JAKKS Pacific Inc. is recalling approximately 1.3 million units of "Spit Smatter" Spray Foam. The product consists of pressurized aerosol cans that emit colored foam in five varieties: Original Smatter, Blueberry Smatter, Banana Cream Smatter, Lemon Meringue Smatter, and Fatter Smatter. The cans feature the brand name and the word "Nickelodeon" printed on the orange trigger mechanism.

The recall was issued because the aerosol cans can forcefully break apart, posing a risk of serious injury to nearby consumers. The company has received four reports of the cans breaking apart, including one incident that resulted in a laceration injury to a consumer and several incidents involving property damage.

The products were sold at discount department and toy stores nationwide between February 2002 and June 2003 for about $10. Consumers should immediately take the aerosol can away from children and contact JAKKS Pacific at (800) 554-5516 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or e-mail [email protected], for instructions on disposal and how to receive a full refund.
