Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Plant Guru is recalling Wintergreen, Birch, and specific essential oil blends (Headache Relief and Deep Muscle) sold in various sizes between March 2018 and March 2021. These products were sold online at ThePlantGuru.com, Amazon.com, and eBay.com. The recall was issued because the packaging is not child-resistant, which violates the Poison Prevention Packaging Act and can lead to accidental ingestion. Consumers should stop using the oils immediately and contact the company for either a full refund for roll-ons or free child-resistant replacement caps for bottles.

Risk

The products contain methyl salicylate, which is toxic if ingested by young children; because the bottles lack child-resistant caps, children can easily open them and swallow the contents. No injuries have been reported to date.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled essential oils and store them in a safe, locked location out of the reach of children.
  2. Identify your product by checking the label for the Plant Guru logo and names: 'Wintergreen', 'Birch', 'Headache Relief', or 'Deep Muscle'. Affected sizes include 5 mL, 10 mL, 30 mL, 2 oz., and 4 oz. amber bottles, and 10 mL blue roll-on bottles.
  3. Contact Plant Guru for your remedy: 'Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled essential oils, store the products in a safe location out of reach of children, and contact Plant Guru for a full refund for the roll-on products and a free child-resistant replacement cap for the bottles.'
