Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 329,000 bottles of six different brands of sodium and potassium hydroxide products are being recalled because their packaging is not child-resistant, violating the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. These products, often used for soapmaking and clearing drains, were sold in two-pound clear plastic bottles from January 2015 through October 2019. The CPSC has received two reports of chemical burn injuries, including one incident where a child suffered burns to their mouth after accessing the product. Consumers should immediately store these products in a secure location and contact Boyer to receive a free replacement child-resistant cap.

Risk

The packaging fails to meet child-resistance standards, allowing children to easily open the bottles and access the caustic chemicals. Contact with these substances causes severe chemical burns and irritation to the skin, eyes, and internal tissues if swallowed.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately move the recalled lye or hydroxide products to a safe, elevated location out of the reach of children.
  2. Check your bottle for lot numbers between 4001 and 9288, which are printed on the bottom of the jar or the side of the box.
  3. Verify if you have one of the six affected brands: Soap Supply Co. (yellow label), Soap Makers Lye (green label), California Soap Supply (dark blue label), Combo Pure Solutions (light blue label), Red Crown High Test Lye (red label), or Boyer Potassium Hydroxide Flakes (white label).
  4. Contact Boyer Corporation at 800-323-4030 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, or email boyer9600@gmail.com to request a free replacement child-resistant cap.

  6. Contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 if you have additional questions regarding this safety recall.
