Consumers Claim Olympic Rescue It Stain Is Deceptively Marketed

Customer complaints about the outdoor resurfacer and sealant called Olympic Rescue It! are mounting as a class action investigation is underway over collective criticisms that the deck stain is utterly ineffective and susceptible to cracking, peeling, and chipping within months after it is applied.

What is Olympic Rescue It! Resurfacer?

Olympic is a paint and stain company with corporate headquarters in Pittsburgh, PA. Their line of Rescue It! Resurfacer promises “a durable coating for wood and concrete splits and cracks up to ¼” deep.

Rescue It also assures its consumers: “A fine texture helps to hide surface imperfections.” Olympic touts the sealant as ideal for lightly to moderately worn wood and concrete. It is also supposed to waterproof and provide a non-slip textured outdoor surface.

Consumers Complain Rescue It! is Defective

Consumer complaints about Rescue It allege that the deck product fails long before it should do so, flaking and peeling off decks soon after application.  As alleged, this is considered a violation of many states’ Deceptive Trade Practices Act and a breach of express warranties.  It is believed that the deceptively marketed Olympic Rescue It stain may have affected thousands of customers across the nation.

Deck stains typically effectively seal wood for three to five years before reapplication is necessary. Yet, many consumers have taken to online forums to voice their disappointment that the Olympic stain broke down a short time after it was applied, peeling, cracking, and bubbling.

Customers also state that the product required an extensive preparation time before they were even able to begin the application process, which again was time consuming.

Olympic has claimed there is no set time period for a sealant to last, and this would depend on how worn the material is to start. However, many customers also claim the product broke down in an unreasonably short period of time.

While Olympic has offered to refund unhappy customers who have properly applied the product, and/or replace with another Rescue It resealent, some customers assert that this is not sufficient.

The time wasted in preparing and applying a faulty product, only to do the work all over again, has forced them to seek a greater return than simply a refund and replacement.

Olympic Rescue It! Resurfacer Class Action Investigation

Sold as a “high performance” coating, Olympic Rescue It instead is of poor quality, according to many disappointed customers. Thus, many consumers assert their money was wasted, as well as their time, since recoating their deck with a different product was necessary.

The Olympic Rescue It! class action lawsuit investigation is calling for consumers who have purchased and used Olympic Rescue It in the last couple of years, and who have seen the product fail within a few months after its application, to consider filing legal action.

If you have purchased Olympic Rescue It products, and found that the deck resurfacer did not do what it was represented to do–flaking and peeling off your deck before it should have done so–you may be eligible to file a lawsuit or join a class action lawsuit against Olympic.
