Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Alliance Chemical is recalling approximately 960 units of Sodium Hydroxide products, including a 2-pound white plastic bottle of 'Pure Lye' drain cleaner and a 5-pound clear bag of flakes. These products were sold online through Alliancechemical.com, Amazon.com, and eBay.com between August 2020 and February 2021. The recall was issued because the packaging is not child-resistant as required by law, and the labels are missing the mandatory word 'POISON' and other safety information. Consumers should immediately move these products to a secure location and contact the company for free replacement child-resistant packaging and labels.

Risk

The lack of child-resistant packaging and proper warning labels poses a significant risk of chemical burns and severe irritation to the skin and eyes if children access the product. While no injuries have been reported, the substance is highly caustic and can cause permanent tissue damage upon contact.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately store the recalled products in a safe location that is out of sight and reach of children to prevent accidental exposure.
  2. Check your records or storage for 2-pound white plastic bottles labeled 'Alliance Chemical Sodium Hydroxide Flakes Pure Lye Caustic Soda' or 5-pound clear bags labeled 'Sodium Hydroxide Flake'.
  3. Contact Alliance Chemical collect at 512-365-6838 (8 a.m. to 4 p.m. CT Monday through Thursday) or email support@alliancechemical.com for a free replacement child resistant packaging and label to put on the product.
  4. Follow the verbatim remedy instructions: 'Consumers should immediately store the recalled products in a safe location out of sight and reach of children. Contact Alliance Chemical for a free replacement child resistant packaging and label to put on the product.'
