"Spit Smatter" Spray Foam

July 2, 2003 -- About 1.3 million units of "Spit Smatter" Spray Foam are being recalled. The aerosol cans can forcefully break apart, posing a risk of serious injury to nearby consumers.

The manufacturer has received four reports of the aerosol cans breaking apart, including one incident that resulted in a laceration injury to a consumer and several incidents involving property damage.

The "Spit Smatter" spray comes in a pressurized can and emits a colored foam based on one of six brands: "Original Smatter," "Blueberry Smatter," "Banana Cream Smatter," "Lemon Meringue Smatter," and "Fatter Smatter." The brand name is printed on the can and the word "Nickelodeon" is printed on the orange trigger mechanism.

The cans were sold at discount department and toy stores nationwide sold the "Spit Smatter" foam cans between February 2002 and June 2003 for about $10.

Remedy: Consumers should immediately take the aerosol can away from children and contact the company for instructions on disposal and how to receive a full refund.
