Plain-English summary

Artizen Oils LLC is recalling approximately 6,000 units of 1- and 2-ounce clear glass bottles of Wintergreen and Birch 100 percent Pure & Natural Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils. The recall was initiated because the bottles do not meet the child-resistant packaging requirements mandated by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. This defect creates a risk of poisoning if the essential oil contents are swallowed by young children.

The affected products were sold online through eBay.com, Amazon.com, and Walmart.com between June 2017 and April 2019 for prices ranging from $10 to $17. The recall includes all bottles purchased prior to April 15, 2019. Each bottle displays the Artizen Oils logo and the product name. No injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall.

Consumers should immediately remove the essential oils from the reach of children.
