biOrigins has recalled approximately 30 bags of Sodium Hydroxide (Lye/Caustic Soda) sold in 500g and 1kg sizes. These products were sold exclusively on Amazon.com from July 2020 through July 2021. The packaging is not child-resistant and the labels lack mandatory safety information, which is a violation of federal safety regulations. Consumers can contact Madar Corporation for a full refund and a free warning label.
The product contains sodium hydroxide, a highly corrosive substance that can cause severe chemical burns and irritation to the skin and eyes if handled improperly. Because the packaging is not child-resistant as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, children are at significant risk of accidental exposure and injury.
Consumers should immediately store the recalled product in a safe location out of reach of children and contact Madar Corporation for a full refund and a free warning label. Madar Corporation is contacting all purchasers directly.
