Certain batches of Natura flat and eggshell finish paint manufactured prior to 2010 were made with a defoamer that contained canola oil that in certain circumstances caused some consumers to experience a persistent odor problem after the paint was applied. In early 2010, the Natura flat and eggshell finishes were reformulated to replace the defoamer. This eliminated the odor problem. Batch numbers for Natura flat and eggshell finishes containing the defective defoamer are listed below. Benjamin Moore retailers were instructed to remove the old paint from retail shelves in the summer of 2010. If you experienced an odor problem from Natura paint that was purchased prior to September 1, 2010 or is from one of the listed batch numbers, please contact our complaint line at (855) 724-6802 (855-paint-02). If you can identify the batch number from the paint you used, please have it ready. We stand by our products and will address all consumer concerns caused by the paint. <br /> <br /> (Pre-Reformulation Batches)<br />Product Batch Code<br />0512 01 023116<br />0512 01 081904<br />0512 01 102712<br />0512 1X 013419<br />0512 1X 022914<br />0512 1X 023217<br />0512 1X 033419<br />0512 1X 061803<br />0512 1X 073520<br />0512 1X 082207<br />0512 1X 083924<br />0512 1X 092611<br />0512 1X 093924<br />0512 1X 094429<br />0512 1X 103015<br />0512 1X 122510<br />0512 1X 132712<br />0512 2X 022611<br />0512 2X 033318<br />0512 2X 054126<br />0512 2X 112409<br />0512 3X 022106<br />0512 3X 022510<br />0512 3X 032005<br />0512 4X 013015<br />0512 4X 022611<br />0512 4X 031803<br />0512 4X 043520<br />0513 01 022409<br />0513 01 034025<br />0513 01 044530<br />0513 1X 019930<br />0513 1X 019931<br />0513 1X 019932<br />0513 1X 013116<br />0513 1X 014328<br />0513 1X 021702<br />0513 1X 021702<br />0513 1X 021702<br />0513 1X 023318<br />0513 1X 031702<br />0513 1X 033823<br />0513 1X 042106<br />0513 1X 052813<br />0513 1X 053520<br />0513 1X 073015<br />0513 1X 073823<br />0513 1X 074328<br />0513 1X 082510<br />0513 1X 092308<br />0513 1X 101702<br />0513 1X 122308<br />0513 2X 022106<br />0513 2X 023015<br />0513 2X 030520<br />0513 2X 032813<br />0513 2X 041601<br />0513 2X 043419<br />0513 2X 044126<br />0513 2X 074126<br />0513 2X 082914<br />0513 2X 103520<br />0513 2X 123621<br />0513 3X 022409<br />0513 3X 042914<br />0513 3X 092510<br />0513 4X 013621<br />0513 4X 014429<br />0513 4X 032409<br />0513 4X 043015<br />K511 01 042308<br />K512 01 033116<br />K512 01 072813<br />K512 1X 041601<br />K512 1X 043621<br />K512 1X 113116<br />K512 2X 054126<br />K512 3X 031904<br />K512 3X 052106<br />K512 4X 041803<br />K512 4X 052813<br />K513 01 054126<br />K513 1X 041702<br />K513 1X 043722<br />K513 1X 083520<br />K513 1X 093520<br />K513 1X 103621<br />K513 1X 112005<br />K513 1X 132712<br />K513 2X 024025<br />K513 2X 052005<br />K513 2X 053015<br />K513 3X 052005<br />K513 3X 053318<br />K513 3X 123015<br />K513 4X 033823<br />K513 4X 052611<br />K513 4X 053621Lisa at Benjamin Moorehttp://www.benjaminmoore.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711154317262732196.post-44358210322364575692010-09-01T00:14:12.708-04:002010-09-01T00:14:12.708-04:00I painted child,s room with BM Natura a year ago, still smells very badly.

All you have to do is google &quot;Benjamin Moore Natura paint review,&quot; or &quot;Benjamin Moore Natura paint fishy smell&quot; and you will read about the problems people are having with Natura paint. Apparently not all cans are defective, but some definitely are. I have a file almost an inch thick with complaints I&#39;ve found all over the internet. These are often people who chose the &quot;zero VOC&quot; paint due to a respiratory or chemical sensitivity problem, so this is a very serious problem for those affected.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711154317262732196.post-21101340229437863192010-07-12T09:58:07.853-04:002010-07-12T09:58:07.853-04:00I have used Natura and the medium grade EcoSpec WB. Both are zero VOC paints and have literally no smell with the biggest difference being that Natura is thicker which increases coverage and is about 20$ more expensive. I have to disagree with Mr/Mrs &quot;Anonymous&quot;. I have recommended and sold Natura &amp; EcoSpec WB to Retirement homes, Hospitals and Schools and have never had a single complaint associated with smell. <br />Mike Jackson<br />Commercial &amp; Industrial Sales Manager<br />Speers Paint Inc.<br />275 Speers Road<br />Oakville, On.

I have used other zero VOC paints and the Natura has the strongest odor. In fact, it remains for weeks and weeks. When I noticed how strong the fumes were, I stopped painting, thank goodness. Went out and bought the ICI no VOC paint - truly a no odor paint. Benjamin Moore must have used some nasty no VOC chemcicals to compenstate for the VOCs.<br /><br />If you have allergies or a respiratory condition or kids or you just don&#39;t like the smell of strong paint, DON&#39;T BUY NATURA. You will definitely regret it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711154317262732196.post-65807825136598651162009-07-27T16:13:57.936-04:002009-07-27T16:13:57.936-04:00www.homesteadhouse.caQuinton Coishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06697992239957707574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711154317262732196.post-85151554703658128592009-07-27T16:13:36.635-04:002009-07-27T16:13:36.635-04:00Homestead House Paint Co. is a local Toronto based Paint Manufacturer that offers all natural milk paints- Zero Voc&#39;s.
