Not long ago, Spill Center was involved in the most intense product recall we’ve ever handled. Plastic containers of commercial dishwashing detergent, contaminated with hydrogen peroxide, started expanding and bursting, releasing the highly alkaline liquid. In the first four days of the recall campaign, our call center dispatched cleanup contractors to 480 locations around the U.S. to contain the potentially hazardous material.
