Best Nutritionals has recalled about 2,800 units of Best Naturals Organic Wintergreen Essential Oil sold in 4 fl oz dark amber glass bottles. The product contains methyl salicylate, a substance that requires child-resistant packaging under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, but the current bottle cap is not child-resistant. These oils were sold online at Amazon.com and Walmart.com from October 2018 through February 2021 for about $15. Consumers are entitled to a full refund and instructions on how to safely dispose of the product.
Because the packaging is not child-resistant, young children can easily open the bottle and ingest the oil. Swallowing products containing methyl salicylate can lead to severe poisoning or even death in children.
Consumers should immediately stop using and store the product in a safe location out of reach and sight of children. Contact Best Nutritionals for information on how to properly dispose the product and receive a full refund. Best Nutritionals is contacting all known purchasers directly.
