Belle Chemical is recalling approximately 103,000 units of Sodium Hydroxide and Potassium Hydroxide products because they lack required child-resistant packaging. These chemicals, which include food-grade lye and caustic soda, were sold in 4-ounce, 8-ounce, and 1-pound resealable bags. No injuries have been reported, but the products also lack mandatory 'poison' labels and safety warnings on the front of the packaging. Consumers should contact Belle Chemical for free replacement child-resistant packaging and new labels.
The packaging is not child-resistant, which allows children to easily access hazardous chemicals that can cause severe chemical burns and irritation to the skin and eyes. Additionally, the labels omit the word 'poison' and mandatory hazard statements, which may lead users to underestimate the danger of these substances.
Consumers should immediately store the recalled products in a safe location out of reach of children and contact Belle Chemical for a free replacement child-resistant packaging and label to put on the product.
