RootStim Recalls Beard Growth Serum Spray Bottles Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Child Poisoning; Violate Mandatory Standard for Child-Resistant Packaging
Reviewed and published by MPB Safety Desk
Hazard
The beard growth serum contains minoxidil, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The serum's packaging 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
RootStim is recalling its Beard Growth Serums sold in spray bottles. These products are intended for adult use to promote beard growth.
The recall is due to the product containing minoxidil, an ingredient that requires child-resistant packaging. The packaging for these beard growth serums does not meet this mandatory safety standard. This means that if young children ingest the contents, there is a risk of serious injury or death from poisoning.
Parents should immediately secure the bottles out of children's sight and reach. Please refer to the official recall notice for detailed instructions on how to receive a replacement product.
