What happened

UberScientific is recalling Uber Numb Topical Anesthetic Cream and Uber Numb Spray because the packaging does not meet child-resistant closure requirements under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The products contain lidocaine, a pain reliever that poses a poisoning risk to young children if they apply it to their skin or swallow it. The recalled cream comes in white jars with smooth, rounded caps in one, two, and four-ounce sizes, while the recalled spray comes in four-ounce green bottles with white caps.

According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately move the recalled products out of children's reach and contact UberScientific for instructions on obtaining a remedy. Consumers with the recalled cream can receive a free replacement child-resistant cap, while consumers with the recalled spray can receive either a free replacement cream with the new child-resistant cap or a full refund.
