Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Earthworks Health is recalling approximately 2,647 units of Diatomaceous Earth products because they were marketed for uses that are not in compliance with safety and labeling regulations. This makes the products legally adulterated and misbranded. The recall includes 50-pound bags of Perma-Guard Fossil Shell Flour, along with 2.5-pound jugs and 10-pound bags of Earthworks Health brand 100% Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth. These products were sold directly to consumers nationwide.

Risk

The products are not appropriately labeled for their intended use as defined by safety regulations, which could lead to improper application or misuse by consumers. Using products that do not meet regulatory standards for their marketed use can pose unpredictable safety risks to pets or people.

What You Should Do
