RESURRECTIONbeauty Recalls Wintergreen Essential Oil for Packaging Defect

RESURRECTIONbeauty is recalling Wintergreen Essential Oil because the packaging is not child-resistant, posing a poisoning risk 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 (poisoning risk from methyl salicylate) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

RESURRECTIONbeauty, of Holmen, Wisconsin, is recalling approximately 270 units of Wintergreen 100 Percent Pure Essential Oil. The product is sold in amber glass 0.5-fluid-ounce dropper bottles with a black cap and a green label. The recall is due to the packaging's failure to meet the child-resistant packaging requirements of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA).

The product contains methyl salicylate, a substance that requires child-resistant packaging. Because the current packaging is not child-resistant, there is a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children. The company has not reported any injuries or illnesses associated with the product.

The oil was sold online at Amazon.com, Ebay.com, Etsy.com, and Resurrectionbeauty.com from December 2015 through July 2019 for about $8. Consumers should immediately store the product in a safe location out of reach of children and contact RESURRECTIONbeauty for a free replacement child-resistant cap. All known purchasers are being notified directly by the firm.
