Essential Trading Post is recalling about 200 units of Wintergreen and Birch Essential Oils sold in various sizes ranging from 4 mL to 480 mL. These products contain methyl salicylate, which is required by law to have child-resistant packaging to prevent accidental ingestion. The current packaging lacks this safety feature, creating a risk that young children could swallow the oil, which can lead to severe poisoning. These oils were sold online at EssentialTradingPost.com from April 2018 through April 2020; no injuries have been reported to date.
The product packaging is not child-resistant, which allows young children to easily open and ingest the contents. This poses a serious risk of poisoning because the oil contains methyl salicylate, a substance that is toxic if swallowed.
Consumers should immediately store the product in a safe location out of reach of children and contact Essential Trading Post for a full refund. The firm is directly notifying all known purchasers about the recall.
