The agency's original wording
The essential oil contains methyl salicylate, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA). The packaging for the products is not child resistant, posing a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children.
Consumers should immediately secure the recalled essential oil out of the sight and reach of children and contact the firm to receive a full refund or free replacement bottle of essential oil. Consumers will be asked to take a photo of their product in the trash in order to receive a refund or replacement and email the photo to gumilius@outlook.com.
