Xtreme Reach Stain Injury Lawsuit
On December 7, 2023, a significant recall was announced for Wet & Forget “Xtreme Reach” Outdoor Mold & Mildew Stain Remover, affecting about 2.7 million bottles. This recall was prompted by a serious hazard associated with the product’s hose end nozzle. The issue lies in the nozzle clip, which can unexpectedly disengage, causing the cleaning solution to spray onto users. This defect poses a substantial risk of skin and eye irritation, along with other possible injuries.
The products affected by this recall are the 48 oz. and 68 oz. bottles of Wet & Forget “Xtreme Reach” Outdoor Mold & Mildew Stain Remover, which come equipped with a hose end nozzle. These bottles are primarily blue in color and carry the UPCs 879288000077 (48 oz.) and 879288000084 (68 oz.), located on the back of the bottle at the bottom right-hand corner of the label. The name “Wet & Forget” is prominently displayed on the hose end nozzle.
In response to this issue, Wet & Forget advises consumers to immediately halt the use of the recalled product and contact the company for a free replacement nozzle. The use of the stain remover should not resume until the new nozzle is installed, and the original nozzle should be disposed of accordingly.
To date, there have been 3,188 reports of the nozzle insert becoming dislodged, including 157 reports of users being exposed to the cleaning solution. Of these incidents, 28 included complaints of skin or eye irritation.
The recalled products were sold at various retailers including Ace Hardware, Costco, Home Depot, Lowes, True Value, Walmart, and other home goods stores. They were also available online at Amazon.com, SamsClubs.com, Walmart.com, and other websites from February 2018 to November 2023, priced between $30 and $35. Wet & Forget (USA) Inc., based in Elgin, Illinois, is the importer of these products, which were manufactured in New Zealand.
The recall of Wet & Forget “Xtreme Reach” Outdoor Mold & Mildew Stain Remover highlights the potential dangers posed by defective consumer products. Users of these products may experience skin and eye irritation, among other injuries, due to the malfunctioning nozzle. In such cases, affected individuals might consider pursuing a product liability lawsuit to seek damages.
A product liability lawsuit involves proving that the product was defective and that this defect directly caused the injury. This legal process is complex and includes gathering evidence, filing the lawsuit, engaging in the discovery process, and potentially proceeding to trial.
Given the intricacies involved, legal representation is crucial at each stage. An attorney can guide victims through the legal system, ensuring they understand their rights and the nuances of their case. Furthermore, a lawyer can provide representation in court and aid in strategic negotiation and litigation.
Victims of defective products such as the Wet & Forget stain remover may be eligible for compensation covering medical expenses, pain and suffering, and possibly punitive damages, depending on the specifics of the case. This compensation is essential for addressing the physical, emotional, and financial toll of the injury.
