Description of the problem | My vehicle did not come with a spare tire, but with something called a "tire mobility kit" which is used to inflat a flat tire (maybe). In anticipation of the need to use this gadget, i have read the instructions and came across this item: "warning: sealant is an irritant to skin, eyes and respiratory passages. Overexposure may cause central nervous system and kidney effects...... Do not breathe vapor or mist..... Avoid contact with skin and eyes.... Wash thoroughly after handling.... In case of skin or eye contact, immediately flush affected area with plenty of water. Needless to say, i is highly unlikely that i will suffer a flat tire close to a source of clean water. This product is poisonous and dangerous to use. The public should be alerted and the product should be recalled and replaced with a safe alternative. Please let me know if your agency will pursue this matter with hyundai. |
