RootStim Recalls Minoxidil Hair Regrowth Treatment 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 recalled hair regrowth products contain minoxidil, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The bottle is not child-resistant, posing a risk of serious injury or death from poisoning if the contents are ingested by young children.
What parents need to know
RootStim Minoxidil Hair Regrowth Treatment is being recalled, covering three versions of the product: a foam, a spray, and a serum. All three contain minoxidil.
The recall was issued because the bottles are not child-resistant, even though federal law (the Poison Prevention Packaging Act) requires child-resistant packaging for products containing minoxidil. If a young child is able to access and ingest the contents, this poses a risk of serious injury or death from poisoning.
Parents and caregivers who have any of these products should secure them out of sight and out of reach of children right away. You should then contact RootStim for instructions on receiving a replacement product. As part of that process, you will be asked to write "RECALLED" on the bottle, discard the bottle, and send a photo of the discarded bottle to the address given in the official recall notice.
If a child may have swallowed any of the contents, seek medical advice right away.
