Reviewed and published by MPB Safety Desk
Hazard
The recalled test kits contain a bottle of sulfuric acid, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The test kits violate the mandatory standard for child-resistant packaging because the bottle of sulfuric acid is not child-resistant, posing a risk of serious injury or death from poisoning, if the contents are swallowed by young children.
What parents need to know
This recall involves Almpal dissolved oxygen test kits, which come in a cream-colored box with a white "Dissolved Oxygen Test Kit" label.
The recalled test kits have been recalled because the bottle of sulfuric acid inside is not child-resistant. This violates a mandatory safety standard designed to protect children. If young children swallow the contents of the bottle, it can cause serious injury or death from poisoning.
If you have one of these kits, immediately store it where children cannot see or reach it, then contact Almpal for how to properly dispose of the sulfuric acid bottle and receive a full refund. Almpal asks for a photo before disposal, and the kit does not need to be returned. The recall covers unexpired kits sold after May 2025, but the notice says all kits, expired, unexpired or unused, should be disposed of under local household hazardous waste rules.
