Pranarom is recalling about 960 bottles of Wintergreen (Gaultheria fragrantissima) Essential Oils because the packaging is not child-resistant as required by law. The product contains methyl salicylate, which can be toxic if swallowed, yet the bottles were sold with standard white caps that children can easily open. These .17 fl. oz. (5 mL) amber glass bottles were sold at independent grocery stores and online at rosemarygarden.com between June 2018 and April 2020. Consumers should stop using the product and contact the company for a free replacement.
The essential oil contains methyl salicylate, which poses a risk of poisoning if ingested by young children. Because the packaging lacks a child-resistant cap, children can easily access and swallow the contents, which could lead to serious illness or death.
Consumers should immediately dispose of the product and contact Pranarom for a free replacement product.
