Quest Products Recalls ALOCANE Emergency Burn Pads for Child-Resistant Closure Failure

Quest Products is recalling ALOCANE Emergency Burn Pads because the packaging is not child-resistant, posing a risk of lidocaine poisoning to young children.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (lidocaine poisoning) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria in the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Quest Products LLC is recalling approximately 153,000 units of ALOCANE® Emergency Burn Pads (10 count and 15 count) due to a failure to meet the child-resistant closure requirements of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The recalled pads contain lidocaine (4%) as the active ingredient and are packaged in white and red boxes. The hazard exists because the packaging does not prevent young children from accessing the pads, which could lead to poisoning if a child places a pad in their mouth.

The affected products were sold at Walgreens, Walmart, Target, Kroger, Meijer, other pharmacies nationwide, and online at Amazon.com, HomeDepot.com, Overstock.com, MyQuestStore.com, and Alocane.com from March 2018 through June 2019 for about $9. The specific lot numbers involved are 4179, 4180, 4235, 4645, 4646, or 4698, and the UPC number is 8-46241-02448-7.

No injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled burn pads and store them in a safe location out of reach of children. To obtain a remedy, consumers should contact Quest Products at 800-650-0113 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or online at www.alocane.com to request a free ALOCANE® Emergency Burn Gel 2.5 ounce child-resistant tube or a full refund.
