What to do now
Check cans for dates sold and stockists in the identifiers section and if leakage is detected, or you are concerned that your tin may be leaking, please follow these steps:• Handle carefully. MotoMix is a flammable substance and should be kept away from ignition sources, sparks, open flames, and excessive heat. Avoid breathing in fumes.• Place in a safe, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources.• Contact your local STIHL Dealer or STIHL Customer Service Support to arrange disposal and a refund under the Consumer Guarantees Act.
