Aesop USA Recalls Bathroom Deodorizing Drops and Oil Burner Blends Due to Failure to Meet Child Resistant Packaging Requirements and Violation of FHSA Labeling Requirement; Risk of Poisoning
Emeis Cosmetics Pty Ltd., of Collingwood, Victoria, Australia
Hazard
The recalled products contain low-viscosity hydrocarbons which must be in child resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA). The packaging of the products is not child resistant, posing a risk of poisoning. In addition, the label on the products violates the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) by omitting the mandatory information on the packaging.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and store them in a safe location out of reach and sight of young children. Contact Aesop for information on how to safely dispose of the recalled products and how to receive a full refund in the form of an Aesop digital gift card in the amount of the price of the recalled product(s). The gift card can be used towards the purchase of any Aesop product at any Aesop store or online at https://www.aesop.com. To obtain the digital gift card, consumers should complete the Refund Request Form at http://aesop.com/us/r/recall-2022 and follow instructions on how to upload a picture showing the batch number and UPC/barcode of the recalled product, and confirm that the recalled product will be disposed in household waste. Consumers who purchased a Home Kit, which includes the recalled product and two other items, will only receive a refund equivalent to the purchase price of the recalled Aesop Post-Poo Drops. Store returns will not be accepted. Consumers must provide proof that the recalled product is in their possession to qualify for a refund.
