Ruahouine hair growth serum recalled for child poisoning risk
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.

In the CPSC's words
- Description
- This recall involves Ruahouine Hair Growth Serum. The serum comes in 60ml (2.11 fl. oz.) transparent amber dropper bottles. "Ruahouine", "Minoxidil Hair Growth Serum", and "5% Minoxidil With Biotin" are printed on labels wrapped around the bottles.
- Hazard
- 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.
- Remedy
- 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.
