1-25862625- The reporter, an employee of the distributor, indicated a package failure involving a fungicide containing the active ingredient synthetic isoparaffin. The reporter indicated the day prior to his report a five gallon container carrying the product was transported to a warehouse prior to distribution. The container had been found to have developed a crack and had leaked in that warehouse one hour prior to the report. The volume leaked was reported to be a small amount by the reporter, but not quantified. At the point of the report the spilled had been cleaned, the package contained, and the registrant had initiated retrieval. No exposure or environmental injury had taken place. No further information is available.
The pail in question was from a specific production run at our supplier (June 2010 production). This pail was found to have the gate below the gate ring not well formed. The gate is the nub on the bottom of the pail and the gate ring is the surrounding ring. This is the point of injection when the pail is made. In plain English, this part of the pail is not as perfect as our supplier would like to see it. The gate provides integrity to the pail by reducing the sag on the bottom of the pail. This inferior gate was then likely exposed to some kind of wear and tear, either placing the pail down / dropped or exposed to a large top load (stacking) causing the bottom to sag and crack. In September 2010, our supplier implemented a new gate inspection criteria in response to a process improvement, unrelated to this situation. Based on this new gate criteria, this pail would have been put on hold and not passed QC. Civitas production for 2011 is using a new pail production from our supplier. This failure is not expected to happen again.
