Scalpa Inc. has recalled approximately 10,000 tubes of Scalpa Numb Maximum Strength Topical Anesthetic Cream (lidocaine 5%) because the packaging is not child-resistant as required by federal safety standards. This 10-gram topical cream contains lidocaine, which can cause serious poisoning if ingested by young children. The product was sold online at Scalpashop.com and Amazon.com between February 2020 and November 2020. Consumers should stop using the cream immediately and store it in a secure location out of the reach of children to prevent accidental exposure.
The cream's packaging lacks a child-resistant cap, allowing young children to easily open the tube and ingest the lidocaine cream. Ingestion of lidocaine can lead to severe poisoning, though no injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Scalpa Numb, store the cream in a safe location out of reach of children and contact Scalpa for a full refund or store credit. Scalpa is directly notifying all known purchasers about the recall.
