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) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Dr. Adorable, of Chicago, Ill., is recalling approximately 12 bottles of Sweet Birch Essential Oil in 4.4 fl. oz. and 8 fl. oz. sizes. The product was sold exclusively online at Amazon.com from January 2020 through March 2020 for about $17.

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. The current packaging is not child-resistant, which poses a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately store the product in a safe location out of reach of children. Dr. Adorable is contacting all known purchasers directly to provide a full refund. Consumers can also contact Dr. Adorable at 773-808-0950 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, email at [email protected], or visit www.dradorable.com and click on Recall Notice for more information.
