Desert Harvest has recalled approximately 1,450 units of Reléveum Skin Repair Cream because the bottles do not have child-resistant caps. This over-the-counter cream contains 4% lidocaine and was sold in 4-ounce and 8-ounce transparent green bottles between January 2016 and July 2018. While no injuries have been reported, the lack of safety packaging poses a serious poisoning risk if the contents are ingested by young children. Consumers who have these specific bottles should immediately move them out of children's reach and contact the company for a free replacement safety cap.
The product's packaging fails to meet the Poison Prevention Packaging Act requirements for child-resistant closures. Because the cream contains lidocaine, it poses a risk of poisoning or serious illness if a young child is able to open the bottle and swallow the contents.
Consumers should immediately place the recalled pain relieving cream out of the reach of children and contact Desert Harvest for a free replacement child resistant cap for the bottle.
