Essential Trading Post Recalls Wintergreen and Birch Oils for Packaging Defect

Plain-English summary

Essential Trading Post, of New Bedford, Massachusetts, is recalling Wintergreen and Birch Essential Oils. The products are sold in amber glass bottles with black caps and feature green and white labels. The recall involves approximately 200 units in various sizes, ranging from 4 mL to 480 mL.

The recall is due to a failure to meet the child-resistant packaging requirements of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA). The products contain 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 or illnesses have been reported.

The essential oils were sold online at EssentialTradingPost.com from April 2018 through April 2020 for between $3 and $105. Consumers should immediately store the product in a safe location out of reach of children and contact Essential Trading Post for a full refund. The firm is directly notifying all known purchasers about the recall.
