What happened

These products contain methyl salicylate, a substance that must be in child-resistant packaging under federal law. The non-compliant packaging creates a risk of poisoning if young children swallow the contents. The products are sold in amber glass bottles with black caps labeled with the GEO logo.

According to the recall, consumers should immediately stop using the recalled essential oils and dispose of the products. GEO Essential is automatically refunding consumers the full purchase price through the distribution channel where the products were purchased, and the company is contacting all known purchasers directly.
