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 in the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Amazon is recalling approximately 54 units of 50 mL Mystic Moments Birch Sweet Essential Oil 100% Pure. The product is sold in amber glass bottles with black continuous thread closures and features a blue label. The recall is due to the product's failure to meet child-resistant packaging requirements under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA).

The essential oil 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 young children swallow the contents. No injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall.

The product was sold by Amazon.com from May 2015 through April 2020 for approximately $9. Consumers should immediately store the product in a safe location out of reach of children. Amazon will contact all known purchasers via email with instructions on how to receive a full refund.
