Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Capstone Holdings is recalling approximately 2,935 bottles of Simply Earth Wintergreen Essential Oil (15 mL). The product contains methyl salicylate, which is required by federal law to be in child-resistant packaging. Because the bottles were sold with standard caps that are not child-resistant, they pose a serious poisoning risk if children access and swallow the contents. These oils were sold online at SimplyEarth.com and at the Simply Earth store in Wisconsin between September 2016 and September 2019.

Risk

The packaging is not child-resistant as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, creating a risk that young children could open the bottle and ingest the methyl salicylate, leading to severe poisoning. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your essential oil collection for 15 mL amber glass bottles labeled 'Simply Earth Wintergreen' with a green and white label.
  2. Verify the UPC 816337020464, which is located on the bottom of the outer cardboard packaging.
  3. Immediately store any affected bottles in a high, locked, or otherwise safe location that is completely out of reach of children.
  4. Contact Simply Earth to receive a free child-resistant replacement cap by calling toll-free at 866-330-8165 (9 a.m. to 3 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday) or emailing Help@SimplyEarth.com with 'Recall Alert' in the subject line.
  5. Visit www.SimplyEarth.com and click on 'Recall Alert - Important Safety Notice Regarding Wintergreen Essential Oil' for additional information and to request your replacement cap.
