The CPSC identified the recalled items as consumer-sized bottles of Super Lube Syncopen Synthetic Penetrant, Super Lube Fire Resistant Hydraulic Fluid and Super Lube Metal Protectant and Corrosion Inhibitor. The products are used to prevent corrosion in various machinery.

About 3,700 units are being recalled.

Officials urged consumers to immediately secure the recalled Super Lube products out of the sight and reach of children and to contact Kano Laboratories for a full refund. People who bought the products will need to email a photo of the product in their possession to receive a full refund.

The recalled products contain either ethylene glycol or low-viscosity petroleum distillates, which must be in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, the CPSC said.

“Petroleum distillates can get into the lungs, causing chemical pneumonia, and/or pulmonary damage, which can be fatal,” according to the CPSC.

The items were sold at Grainger Parts, E&R Industrial Sales, Home Depot and other stores nationwide, and online at Amazon.com and other websites from January 2018 through January 2024 for between $5.50 and $445.

Super Lube Syncopen Synthetic Penetrant was sold in a four-ounce white spray bottle (item number 85004), a 32-ounce or one-quart trigger spray black plastic bottle (item number 85032) and a one-gallon white plastic bottle with a handle (item number 85010). The container bears the brand Super Lube followed by a flag of green, blue, orange and yellow stripes.
