Rust-Oleum Fluorescent Pink Spray Paint Recalled for Impact Injury Hazard

Rust-Oleum Professional Fluorescent Pink Inverted Marking Spray Paint cans are recalled because the spray valve assembly can detach with force, creating an impact injury hazard. The company has received five reports of detachment with paint splatter and no injuries 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: The source text explicitly states no injuries have been reported, and the hazard is potential rather than realized. This is a voluntary precautionary recall by the manufacturer. Per the rubric, when no illnesses or injuries are reported and the hazard is theoretical, the score is at most 3, and this precautionary recall qualifies as Moderate (2).
