What happened

Plant Guru is recalling Wintergreen and Birch essential oils, along with Headache Relief and Deep Muscle essential oil blends because their packaging does not meet child-resistant requirements mandated by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. These products contain methyl salicylate and come in amber glass bottles with continuous thread caps in various sizes (2 oz., 4 oz., 5 mL, 10 mL, and 30 mL), as well as a 10 mL blue Headache Relief Roll-On bottle. The non-child-resistant packaging creates a poisoning risk if young children swallow the contents.

According to the recall notice, affected consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and store them in a safe location away from children. Consumers should contact Plant Guru for a full refund on roll-on products and a free child-resistant replacement cap for bottles. The company states that all known purchasers are being contacted directly.
