- What was recalled
- This recall involves the Meguiar's Heavy Duty Headlight Sealant, which is included in the Meguiar's Heavy Duty Headlight Restoration Kit, product number G2980. The headlight sealant comes in a 2.5-ounce amber glass bottle and has "Headlight Sealant" in black lettering on a yellow background and "Heavy Duty" and "Meguiar's" printed on the label.
