Pro Supply Outlet Recalls Sodium and Potassium Hydroxide for Packaging Defects

Pro Supply Outlet is recalling sodium and potassium hydroxide products because the packaging is not child-resistant and labels violate federal requirements.

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 (chemical burns) due to packaging and labeling violations, but the source explicitly states that no incidents or injuries have been reported, which caps the severity at High per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Pro Supply Outlet is recalling approximately 2,600 units of sodium and potassium hydroxide products. The recalled items are sold in two-pound rigid white plastic jars with continuous thread caps. The sodium hydroxide products bear SKU 7023 and UPC 078345004533, while the potassium hydroxide products bear SKU 7132 and UPC 078345004625.

The recall was issued because the product packaging fails to meet the child-resistant packaging requirements of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA). Additionally, the product labels violate the Federal Hazardous Substance Act (FHSA) by omitting the word "poison" for poisonous chemicals. These defects pose a risk of chemical burns and irritation to the skin and eyes. No incidents or injuries have been reported.

The products were sold at Amazon.com, eBay.com, Etsy.com, and prosupplyoutlet.com from January 2018 through March 2021 for about $15. Consumers should immediately store the recalled products in a safe location out of reach of children. Pro Supply Outlet is contacting all purchasers directly to provide a free replacement child-resistant cap and label. Consumers can also contact Pro Supply Outlet toll-free at 855-248-9059 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, email [email protected], or visit www.prosupplyrecall.com for more information.
