Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Belle Chemical is recalling approximately 6,400 units of its 100% Sodium Hydroxide Drain Cleaner because the packaging lacks the mandatory hazard statement and the word "poison" as required by the Federal Hazardous Substance Act (FHSA). This 2-pound drain cleaner was sold in white plastic bottles with red and black labels through various online retailers like Amazon and Walmart between February 2017 and January 2020. Consumers can receive a free replacement label to ensure the product is used and stored safely.

Risk

The product contains sodium hydroxide, a highly corrosive substance that can cause severe chemical burns and internal damage if swallowed or handled improperly. Without the required "poison" warning and hazard instructions on the front label, users may not be fully aware of the chemical's extreme toxicity or necessary safety precautions.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your container to see if you have the Belle Chemical 'Sodium Hydroxide' or '100% Sodium Hydroxide Drain Cleaner' in a 2-pound white plastic bottle with a red and black label.
  2. Immediately move the product to a safe location that is completely out of the reach of children and pets.
  3. Contact Belle Chemical at 877-522-2233 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. MT Monday through Friday, or email info@bellechemical.com to receive a free replacement label that includes the required safety warnings.
