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: Scored 3 under the risk-of-harm criterion: packaging that is not child-resistant poses a poisoning risk to young children, with no incidents reported.

Plain-English summary

RootStim Beard Growth Serum spray bottles are being recalled. The serums come in black boxes with orange and white lettering and an orange mustache icon on the front panel, printed with "Beard Growth Treatment" and "5% Minoxidil - Biotin & Rice Water", and "Distributed By RootStim LLC" on the bottom.

The serum contains minoxidil, which must be in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The packaging is not child-resistant, posing a risk of serious injury or death from poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children. No incidents have been reported.

About 16,900 units were sold online at Amazon.com from November 2024 through September 2025 for about $20.

Consumers should immediately secure the bottles out of the sight and reach of children and contact RootStim for instructions on receiving a replacement product. Consumers will be asked to discard the original bottle.
