Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Bulk Apothecary is recalling approximately 20,240 units of Nature's Oil Wintergreen and Birch Essential Oils because they contain methyl salicylate but lack child-resistant packaging. This defect violates the Poison Prevention Packaging Act and poses a serious poisoning risk if the contents are swallowed by young children. The recalled oils were sold in various sizes ranging from 10 mL to 5-pound containers between January 2016 and May 2020 on BulkApothecary.com and Amazon.com.

Risk

The packaging is not child-resistant, allowing children to easily open and swallow the oils. These products contain methyl salicylate, which is highly toxic to children and can lead to severe poisoning if ingested.

  1. Identify if you have the recalled product by checking the label for 'Nature's Oil' and either 'Wintergreen Oil' or 'Birch Oil' in sizes 10 mL, 15 mL, 60 mL, 473 mL, or 5 lb (2.25 L).
  2. Check for specific SKU codes such as WintergreenEOORG10ml, D-169-eo-390, D-170-eo-391, D-171-eo-392, D-238-eo-30, or 'fill room' codes printed on the right side of the label.
  3. Immediately store the essential oils in a safe, secure location that is out of reach and sight of children.
  4. Contact Bulk Apothecary at 888-728-7612 (8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday) or email sales@BulkApothecary.com to receive instructions on obtaining a full refund.
