GM Gumili Wintergreen Essential Oil Bottles Recalled Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Child Poisoning; Violates Mandatory Standard for Child-Resistant Packaging; Sold on Amazon by Gumili Beauty
Reviewed and published by MPB Safety Desk
Hazard
The essential oil contains methyl salicylate, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA). The packaging for the products is not child resistant, posing a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children.
What parents need to know
This recall involves GM Gumili Wintergreen Essential Oil, sold in amber glass bottles with black screw-on caps. The product was also sold with a white packaging box.
The essential oil contains methyl salicylate, which is a substance that requires child-resistant packaging under federal law. The packaging for these bottles does not meet this standard, meaning young children could potentially access and ingest the oil. Ingesting methyl salicylate can lead to serious poisoning in children.
If you have this product, please immediately move it to a location where children cannot see or reach it. You should then consult the full recall notice for detailed instructions on how to obtain a refund or replacement.
