Plain-English summary
MedPride Baby Oil bottles are being recalled. The baby oil comes in a clear bottle with a pink cap and a white and pink label bearing the MedPride logo, marked "Baby Oil", "Helps smooth, soften & moisturize skin" and "Hypoallergenic". About 8,420 units are affected.
The baby oil contains low-viscosity hydrocarbons, 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 illness from poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children. No injuries have been reported.
The baby oil was sold at various discount and medical supply stores primarily in the New York tri-state area, and online at Amazon.com by HL Medical, from November 2025 onward.
Consumers should secure the baby oil out of sight and reach of children immediately and contact Shield Line for a refund, submitting a photo of the recalled product as directed.
