Maggie's Farm Aerosol Bed Bug & Flea Killer Cans Due to Rupture Hazard

Maggie's Farm Ltd. is recalling about 14,500 units of its 14-ounce Bed Bug & Flea Killer aerosol cans because they can rupture and expel shrapnel, posing injury and laceration hazards. The firm has received four reports of ruptures but no injuries have been reported.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: Although the hazard involves potential for injury and laceration, the source explicitly states "no injuries have been reported" and only four rupture incidents have occurred. With no reported harm and a theoretical hazard, this meets the criteria for Moderate severity as a precautionary recall.
