Amazon is recalling about 6 bottles of Calmer Solutions Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) 100% Pure Essential Oil because the packaging is not child-resistant. The product contains methyl salicylate, which must be in child-resistant containers to prevent accidental poisoning. No incidents or injuries have been reported. These 100 mL amber glass bottles were sold online at Amazon.com from November 2014 through April 2020 for about $17, and Amazon will contact known purchasers to provide a full refund.
The bottle lacks a child-resistant cap, which allows young children to easily access and swallow the contents. Swallowing methyl salicylate can lead to severe poisoning or death in children.
Consumers should immediately store the product in a safe location out of reach of children. Amazon will be contacting all known purchasers with instructions on how to receive a full refund.
