What happened

Ananda Apothecary is recalling four pure essential oil products because their packaging fails to meet child-resistant packaging requirements mandated by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The recalled products—Wintergreen, Sweet Birch, Super Soother Blend, and Breath Deep Blend essential oils—contain methyl salicylate and come in amber glass bottles with black continuous thread closures. If swallowed by young children, these products pose a poisoning risk. The recall affects multiple volume sizes (0.5 mL to 120 mL) across various lot numbers identified on the top left corner of each product's white and green/blue label.

According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately move the product to a safe location out of reach of children. All known purchasers are being notified directly by Ananda Apothecary. Those who purchased the 0.5 mL sample size will receive a full refund, while customers who purchased other sizes will receive a free replacement child-resistant closure.

What should I do?

Consumers should immediately store the product in a safe location out of reach of children. All known purchasers are being notified directly by Ananda Apothecary about the recall and will receive a full refund for the sample size (0.5 mL) or be sent a free replacement child-resistant closure for the all other sizes.
