RE: PS- PSD Defective and Recalled!!
idots! So PS knew about this and didnt change their packaging? Make a label, then have it on their site for retailers only, let them download it and print it out. simple! (at least one would hope it would be...) that way retailers who have 4 or 5 bottles of the stuff can continue to sell it and all it costs them is the price of the labels... what's gonna cost PS more? labels or not selling their product?
WTF! I'm gonna try the local auto parts stores...

Yes you can find some in parts houses but here in small town north Iowa they charge you $4.00 or more for a 96 oz jug then Walmart. If your lucky and live in the upper mid west MFF (MFF = Mills Fleet Farm) has it even cheaper then wallys for the white bottle

and the answer is...

Dear Steve:
Thank you for contacting Power Service regarding our products at Wal-Mart. You have encountered one of the following situations: (1) no product on the shelf or (2) product was on the shelf but you were not allowed to purchase it due to a product "recall".
The most important thing for you to know is there is NOT a factory recall of Power Service diesel additives. All of our products are safe and effective for use in your diesel engine. Any product you may have already purchased is useable and not defective in any way.
The reason for the out-of-stock situation and Wal-Mart initiated recall is that Wal-Mart Stores is taking a very pro-active and cautious approach to new regulations associated with diesel fuels and diesel fuel additives. Effective June 1, 2006, all diesel fuel additives sold at retail must be compliant with new Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuels. Power Service, in anticipation of these new fuels coming into production, has been ULSD compatible and compliant for the past two years. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency is requiring that all diesel fuel additives offered at retail have specific labeling. The label required on all diesel fuel additives produced after June 1, 2006 is as follows:
This diesel fuel additive complies with the federal low sulfur content requirements for use in diesel motor vehicles and nonroad engines.
Wal-Mart has decided that they want all products in their inventory to be labeled with this language effective June 1, 2006. For this reason, Wal-Mart has returned all of their inventory of our products to us to be labeled with the proper EPA mandated language. We will then replenish their inventory with the EPA labeled product. We anticipate that the stores will be back in-stock by June 23, 2006. All other competitive diesel fuel additives in Wal-Mart’s inventory have also been returned to the manufacturer. Again, the only issue is one of labeling - there is no problem with with the functionality of the product.
In the meantime if you would like to source our diesel fuel additives, they can be purchased at the following retailers:
o Advance Auto Parts
o Auto Zone
o Car Quest
o Checkers, Schucks and Kragens Stores
o Murray’s Discount Auto
o NAPA Auto Parts
o O’Reilly Auto Parts
o Strauss Discount Auto
o Tractor Supply
Please do not hesitate to contact to Power Service if you have any problems locating the product you need. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and we look forward to helping you in any way that we can. Thank you for using Power Service diesel additives
Sincerely,
<psd rep>

RE: PS- PSD Defective and Recalled!!
Wow..... I wonder how much walmart had to pay to do this.
1. Create the send back list and send it to the stores.
2. Have a employee pull the product, pack it and ship it.
3. pay for shipping it to manufacturer and back to the stores.
All they would of had to do is go into their inventory screens and order stickers for their stores inventory.

good one Shaun
besides, I doubt wally world had to pay any of this since it was Power Service's own fault for not having the product labeled properly. Wally world might have used language like this: "either you pay to take this stuff back or it will not be on our shelves again".
