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 from methyl salicylate) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Earthroma LLC is recalling approximately 140 units of Earthroma's Wintergreen Essential Oil in 5 mL, 15 mL, and 30 mL amber bottles. The products feature a green and white label with the firm's logo. The recall is due to a 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. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.

The affected products were sold online at Earthroma.com from April 2016 through May 2019 for between $7 and $14. Consumers should immediately store the product in a safe location out of reach of children and contact Earthroma for a free replacement child-resistant cap. All known purchasers are being notified directly by the firm.
