Williams Advanced Materials & Chemicals (WAM&C) is recalling approximately 780 units of Sodium Hydroxide (Lye), Heptane, and Naphtha sold between August 2020 and February 2021. These chemical products were sold on Williamsadvancedmaterials.com, Amazon, eBay, and Etsy in various sizes including jars, bags, and metal cans. The recall was issued because the packaging is not child-resistant as required by law and the labels omit mandatory safety information. Consumers should immediately move these products to a secure location out of reach of children and contact the company for a free replacement cap and label.
The lack of child-resistant packaging poses a serious risk of accidental poisoning or chemical burns; sodium hydroxide can cause severe skin and eye irritation, while heptane and naphtha vapors can lead to headaches, dizziness, or loss of consciousness. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately store the recalled products in a safe location out of reach of children and contact Williams Advanced Materials & Chemicals for a free replacement child-resistant cap and label. Williams Advanced Materials & Chemicals is contacting all purchasers directly.
