Sherwin-Williams Recalls Acrylic Paint Cans Due to Fire Risk
Sherwin-Williams Co. said Tuesday that it is recalling about 98,400 cans of acrylic paint because some of the canisters are leaking, creating a potential fire hazard.

The Cleveland company said customers should stop using the cans and contact it for a refund.
