Edens Garden Recalls Wintergreen and Birch Essential Oils Due to Failure to Meet Child Resistant Packaging Requirements; Risk of Poisoning (Recall Alert)

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Edens Garden is recalling approximately 8,200 bottles of Wintergreen and Birch essential oils because they contain methyl salicylate but lack required child-resistant packaging. This defect creates a serious poisoning risk if a young child swallows the oil. No injuries have been reported, but these products—sold in amber glass bottles with black caps—were available nationwide on edensgarden.com from May 2018 through April 2020. Consumers can receive a free replacement child-resistant cap by contacting the company.

Risk

The essential oils contain methyl salicylate, which is toxic if ingested. Because the bottles do not have child-resistant caps, children can easily open them and swallow the contents, leading to severe poisoning.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your essential oil bottles to see if you have Edens Garden brand 'Wintergreen' (Gaultheria procumbens) or 'Birch' (Betula lenta) in 5 mL, 10 mL, 30 mL, or 4 fl. oz. sizes.
  2. Immediately move any affected bottles to a high, locked, or secure location that is completely out of reach of children.
  3. Contact Edens Garden toll-free at 833-301-5639 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or online at www.edensgarden.com (click 'Recalls' at the bottom of the page) to request a free replacement child-resistant cap.
  4. If you have further questions or need additional assistance, contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772.
