What is this? These are small cans of oil used to keep bicycle parts running smooth. They are sold in Germany, Austria, Finland, and Latvia.

What's happening? The labels do not show the right warnings or safety steps. The caps may not be child-safe, and the danger is hard to feel by touch.

Does this affect me? If you own one of these cans, you might have it at home. Check the label now.

What should I do? Stop using the product and ask your pharmacist or doctor if you need a safer replacement.
