Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary
RootStim is recalling approximately 11,000 units of three Minoxidil Hair Regrowth Treatment products: RootStim 5% Minoxidil Foam Hair Regrowth Treatment with Rosemary and Biotin, RootStim Minoxidil Hair Regrowth Treatment 5% Minoxidil Rosemary & Biotin, and RootStim Minoxidil Hair Regrowth Treatment 5% Minoxidil with Rosemary. The products were sold online at Amazon.com from August 2025 through February 2026 for between $20 and $40.
The recall is due to a violation of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The bottles containing minoxidil are not child-resistant, which poses a risk of serious injury or death from poisoning if the contents are ingested by young children. The source states that no injuries have been reported.
Consumers should immediately secure the recalled products out of sight and reach of children. To receive a replacement, consumers should contact RootStim at 202-743-1714, email [email protected], or visit rootstim.com and click “Recall.” Consumers will be asked to write “RECALLED” on the bottle, discard it, and send a photo of the discarded bottle to the provided email address.
