Plain-English summary

Naturo Sciences is recalling approximately 1,200 bottles of Eiji Essentials Wintergreen Essential Oil. The product is a 5 mL amber glass bottle with a black cap and a red and black label. The label features the Eiji logo in blue and the product name in white, with the lot number 6321C printed on the bottom of the bottle.

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

The product was sold online at Amazon.com, Walmart.com, and Groupon.com from December 2017 through April 2020 for about $7. Consumers should immediately store the product in a safe location out of reach of children and contact Naturo Sciences for a refund. The company is directly notifying all known purchasers about the recall.
