Belle Chemical is recalling sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide products sold in 4-ounce, 8-ounce, and 1-pound sizes because the packaging is not child-resistant as required by law, and the labels do not comply with federal labeling requirements. These products are used for soaps, cleaners, water treatment, food preparation, pH buffering, and metal dissolution. The sodium hydroxide products come in black resealable bags (4-ounce and 8-ounce sizes) or a white resealable bag (1-pound size), while potassium hydroxide products come in black resealable bags. The non-child-resistant packaging poses a risk of chemical burns and skin and eye irritation.
