Ruahouine Hair Growth Serum recalled for unsafe packaging; minoxidil poisoning risk to children
What this means
Ruahouine Hair Growth Serum bottles contain minoxidil, a powerful chemical that can cause serious poisoning if swallowed. The bottles do not have child-resistant caps as required by law, making it easy for young children to open and ingest the contents. About 25,000 bottles were sold on Amazon between January and July 2025.
- Immediately move the bottle to a secure location out of children's sight and reach.
- Email ruahouine@gmail.com to request a refund or replacement with proper packaging.
- Follow their instructions: pour contents into trash, photograph the empty bottle in the trash, and email the photo to ruahouine@gmail.com.
- Keep the bottle away from children until it is properly destroyed.

The agency's original wording
The serum bottles contain 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.
Consumers should immediately secure the recalled serum bottles and place them out of sight and reach of children. Contact Ruahouine for instructions on how to destroy the recalled bottles and how to receive a refund or replacement bottle. Consumers will be asked to pour the contents of the bottle into the trash and take a photo of the bottle in the trash and email it to ruahouine@gmail.com.
