Ladies and Gentlemen:
We were previously principal accountants for Myers Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
Company) and, under the date of March 7, 2011, we reported on the consolidated financial
statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. On March 8,
2011, we were dismissed. We have read the Company’s statements included under Item 4.01 of
its Form 8-K dated March 10, 2011, and we agree with such statements, except that we are not in
a position to agree or disagree with the Company’s statement that the change was approved by
the audit committee of the board of directors and we are not in a position to agree or disagree
with the Company’s statement that Ernst & Young LLP was not engaged regarding application
of accounting principles to a specified transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be
rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, or the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting.
Very truly yours,
