Kole
Imports, of Carson, Calif., is voluntarily recalling about 90,000 packages of
contact adhesive. The adhesive contains toluene, which can present a fire and
poisoning hazard to consumers. The packaging of this product does not have the
required cautionary labeling, as required under the Federal Hazardous
Substances Act. Kole Imports has not received any reports of incidents. This
recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injuries.
The recalled adhesive comes in a soft metal squeeze tube about 1" x
5" with a screw top. The tube is marked, "Super Contact
Adhesive," and comes in yellow, orange, blue, and white. The UPC code is
7-31015-04471- 9. Discount and "Dollar" stores nationwide sold the
adhesive from January 2000 to January 2001 for about $1.
Consumers should stop using the adhesive immediately and call Kole Imports
toll-free at (866) 251-0982 anytime to receive a full refund. Consumers also
can write to Kole Imports at 24600 S. Main Street, Carson, CA 90745 for the
refund. Consumers who write to the company should not mail the product to the
company or the retailer.
