The product and its vapors can seep or leak from the nozzle base at the top of the can, posing a risk of fire and chemical injuries. The firms have received one report of an employee suffering minor burns when refinisher vapors ignited in a retailer's distribution center. Formby's Conditioning Furniture Refinisher, used to refinish wood furniture, is sold individually and as part of Formby's "Introduction to Refinishing Kit." The 32-ounce metal can reads, "Formby's Furniture Workshop" and "Furniture Refinisher" in white lettering on a burgundy and mostly green background. A depiction of Homer Formby appears on the face of the can. The product can be identified by a code on the bottom of the can written in black ink
