Hempväna Pain Relief Products with Lidocaine Fail Child-Resistant Packaging Requirement

Telebrands is recalling four Hempväna pain relief products containing lidocaine because their packaging does not meet child-resistant requirements under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, posing a poisoning risk to young children.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states "None reported" for injuries, and the hazard is non-compliance with a packaging regulation. Although the potential harm involves child poisoning, no illnesses or injuries have been reported, making this a precautionary recall based on regulatory non-compliance rather than actual harm. This falls under the Moderate category for voluntary precautionary recalls.

Plain-English summary

This recall involves four Hempväna pain relief products containing lidocaine: Hempväna Ultra Strength Pain Relief Cream with Lidocaine (4 oz. jar), Hempväna Ultra Strength Pain Relief Cream Night with Lidocaine (4 oz. jar), Hempväna Ultra Strength Pain Relief Cream Turmeric with Lidocaine (4 oz. jar), and Hempväna Pain Relieving Hand & Body Lotion with Lidocaine (8 oz. bottle with pump). Approximately 183,000 units are affected.

The products contain lidocaine, which by law must be packaged in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA). The recalled products are not in child-resistant packaging, creating a risk of poisoning if young children swallow the contents or the contents are placed on the skin of young children.

The products were sold online at hempvana.com, amazon.com, eBay.com, walmart.com, Altmeyers.com, bedbathhome.com, fredmeyer.com, hamricks.com, hannaford.com, safeway.com, riteaid.com, cvs.com, and boscovs.com, and at Walmart, Altmeyers, Fred Meyer, Hamricks, Hannaford, Safeway, Rite Aid, CVS, and Boscovs stores nationwide from April 2021 through January 2022 for about $20.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and store them in a safe location out of sight and reach of young children. Contact Telebrands Corp toll-free at 855-306-1424 from 7 a.m. to 12 a.m. ET Monday through Friday or 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET Saturday and Sunday, or visit www.hempvana.com/pages/recall-and-safety for information on safe disposal, refunds, or a free child-resistant closure for the jar products. Telebrands is also providing a $15 digital coupon code toward any Hempväna products at www.hempvana.com.
