Ananda Apothecary Recalls Essential Oils Due to Failure to Meet Child Resistant Packaging Requirement; Risk of Poisoning (Recall Alert)

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ananda Apothecary is recalling approximately 275 bottles of Wintergreen, Sweet Birch, Super Soother Blend, and Breathe Deep Blend Pure Essential Oils. These products contain methyl salicylate, but are packaged in amber glass bottles with standard black caps that are not child-resistant as required by law. No injuries have been reported, but the company is providing either a full refund for sample sizes or free child-resistant replacement caps for larger bottles.

Risk

The packaging is not child-resistant, which creates a serious poisoning risk if a young child opens the bottle and swallows the contents. The oils contain methyl salicylate, a substance that must be secured in child-safe containers under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your essential oil bottles to see if they are the Ananda Apothecary brand in Wintergreen, Sweet Birch, Super Soother Blend, or Breathe Deep Blend varieties.
  2. Identify your specific product by checking the lot number in the top left corner of the label against the following codes: Wintergreen (SAK138WIN, SAG019WIN, SAL249WIN), Sweet Birch (PEC199BIR), Super Soother (BLB259SSR, BLF059SSR, BLJ089SSR), or Breathe Deep (BLB089BRD, BLE289BRD, BLH279BRD, BLJ239BRD, BLL059BRD).
  3. Immediately move any affected bottles to a high, secure location that is completely out of reach and sight of children.
  4. If you have a 0.5 mL sample size, contact Ananda Apothecary for a full refund; for all other sizes, contact the company to receive a free replacement child-resistant closure.
  5. Contact Ananda Apothecary at 888-758-6360 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT Monday through Thursday, email contact@anandaapothecary.com, or visit www.anandaessentialoils.com and click on ‘Wintergreen/Birch EO Recall’.
  6. Call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 if you have additional questions regarding this safety recall.
