Natural Health Partners is recalling approximately 5,600 bottles of Dr. Mercola Wintergreen Essential Oil because the packaging does not meet child-resistant requirements. These bottles contain methyl salicylate, a substance that can be poisonous to children if swallowed, yet they lack the necessary safety caps. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date for this product, which was sold online from December 2017 through August 2019. Consumers can receive a free replacement child-resistant cap or a full refund.
The product's packaging is not child-resistant, which creates a poisoning risk if a young child opens the bottle and swallows the oil. Wintergreen oil contains methyl salicylate, which is highly toxic if ingested in small amounts by children.
Consumers should store the product in a safe location out of reach of children and contact Natural Health Partners for a free replacement child resistant cap or a full refund. Natural Health Partners is contacting all known purchasers directly about the recall.
