The agency's original wording
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.
Consumers should immediately secure the recalled serum bottles out of sight and reach of children, and contact RootStim for instructions on receiving a replacement product. Consumers will be asked to discard the original bottle.
