Southern Telecom Expands Recall of Lomi Waxing Kits Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Shield Line Recalls MedPride Baby Oil Bottles Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Child Poisoning; Violate Mandatory Standard for Child-Resistant Packaging
Description
This recall involves MedPride Baby Oil bottles. The baby oil comes in a clear bottle with a pink cap and a white and pink front and back label. The front label bears the "MedPride" logo. The label contains "Baby Oil" in pink lettering, "Helps smooth, soften & moisturize skin", and "Hypoallergenic" in blue lettering. The back label contains directions, warnings, and manufacturer information in blue lettering.
Hazard
The baby oil contains low-viscosity hydrocarbons, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The baby oil's packaging is not child-resistant, posing a risk of serious injury or illness from poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children. Additionally, petroleum distillates can get into the lungs, causing chemical pneumonia and/or pulmonary damage, which can be fatal.
Remedy
Consumers should secure the baby oil out of sight and reach of children immediately and contact Shield Line for a refund. Consumers will be asked to submit a photo of the recalled product in the trash to receive a full refund.
