Castrol recalls wrongly labelled product

1.00pm Tuesday May 23, 2006 NZ Herald:oi-grr:


Castrol New Zealand is recalling a lubricant incorrectly labelled as a brake fluid.

The product is packaged in a four litre dark grey bottle and incorrectly labelled as Castrol Response Dot 4 (brake fluid).

The correctly labelled Castrol Response Dot 4 (four litre) is a red bottle. Red bottles are not being recalled.

The company said that if a customer purchased the incorrectly labelled product they should not to use it and should contact Castrol.

Using the incorrect product could result in detrimental performance of the vehicle's/motorcycle's braking system.

The company said that customers with further queries should contact Castrol on 0800 800 197.

No other Castrol products are affected.

Geez,a 10 litre lasts me a year in 3 man workshop,it takes 8 months in NZ before it has absorbed enough water to be tossed out - what the hell does a home handyman want 4 litres for? Can you drink it?

i thought it was incorrectly filled bottles, not incorrectly labelled.'

and who uses 4 litres of brakefluid? we EAT braking fluid (not Dot 4 obviously) at work, and a 5 litre pressure container of it lasts a couple of months - changing a couple of brake units (as opposed to just pads) a night 7 nights a week will do that.

I usually just get my lube in a smallish tube... 4 litres of the stuff seems a little excessive/wishful.:blip:
