BioFinest is recalling about 20 bottles of its Wintergreen Essential Oil because the packaging is not child-resistant. This product contains methyl salicylate, a substance that must be in child-resistant packaging to prevent accidental poisoning. No injuries have been reported, but these 10 mL and 100 mL amber glass bottles sold online at Biofinest.com between July 2019 and December 2019 pose a serious risk to young children. BioFinest is offering a full refund to all customers who purchased these items.
The essential oil contains methyl salicylate which, if swallowed by young children, can cause severe poisoning. Because the bottle caps are not child-resistant, children can easily open the bottles and ingest the toxic contents.
Consumers should immediately store the product in a safe location out of reach of children. Contact BioFinest for instructions on how to dispose of the product and receive a full refund. Biofinest is contacting all known purchasers directly.
