Storage

3. Did packaging failure result in?

potential injury

potential exposure

4. Describe how the packaging failed and the surrounding circumstances, including a description of the potential injury or exposure.

It was observed at our warehouse that in some of the Clip-On packages, the batteries had corroded and in some cases leaked inside the transparent clamshell packaging. No battery residue leaked outside of the transparent packaging. Since the packaging is meant to be opened to access the contents inside, if/when the package is opened, there is potential for exposure to the leaked battery residue. Product was immediately quarantined.

For Registrant use only

5. Provide supplemental information here.

As a result of the finding, S.C. Johnson has quarantined affected products in our warehouses and voluntarily requested distributors and retailers return to us their existing stocks of these repellent products.
