Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Paddywax is recalling about 2,100 ECO and RELISH fragrance diffusers sold in three scents: ECO Blood Orange with Bergamot, ECO Grapefruit with Coriander, and RELISH Ocean Tide with Sea Salt. These products contain petroleum distillates, but the labels fail to list this ingredient as required by the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. The diffusers were sold in 4-ounce glass vases (green or blue) inside tan cylinder-shaped containers at gift shops, pharmacies, and spas between January 2013 and April 2013. Consumers should immediately stop using these diffusers and contact the company for a replacement product.

Risk

The diffuser liquid contains petroleum distillates which pose a serious aspiration hazard. If a person, child, or pet swallows the liquid, it can be inhaled into the lungs, leading to severe respiratory distress or chemical pneumonia.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your home for 4-ounce Paddywax fragrance diffusers in the 'ECO' or 'RELISH' collections with the following scents: Blood Orange with Bergamot, Grapefruit with Coriander, or Ocean Tide with Sea Salt.
  2. Identify the product by looking for the 'Paddywax' name and the fragrance name printed on the front of the 11-inch tall tan cylinder-shaped packaging or the blue/green glass vase.
  3. Immediately stop using the affected diffusers and move them to a secure location out of reach of children and pets.
  4. Contact Paddywax toll-free at 888-442-3088 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or email customer.service@paddywax.com, for instructions on how to return unopened containers or safely dispose of opened containers to receive a replacement product.
  5. Visit www.paddywax.com and click on 'Recall' for more information and to process your replacement request online.
