RootStim Recalls Minoxidil Hair Regrowth Treatment Bottles Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Child Poisoning; Violate Mandatory Standard for Child-Resistant Packaging
Reported by CPSC · October 29 at 12:00 AM · Summary by Wall & Wick
The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall of three RootStim minoxidil hair regrowth products, sold in foam, spray and serum forms. The bottles are not child-resistant as federal packaging rules require, posing a risk of serious injury or death if young children swallow the contents.
Background
Minoxidil is a medication, and the Poison Prevention Packaging Act requires certain products containing it to use child-resistant closures. Recall classes and remedies vary, but a recall like this usually asks owners to stop using the product, store it out of reach, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for a replacement or refund.
Why it matters
Hair and skin products are often kept on bathroom shelves and nightstands, where curious children can reach them.
What you can do
Check the box or bottle for the UPC codes listed in the notice and store any matching product out of sight and reach of children. Contact RootStim for replacement instructions before discarding it.
