CPSC Recalls Products Due to Packaging

Belle Chemical recalled three products this week—100% Sodium Hydroxide Drain Cleaner, Sodium Hydroxide Lye/Caustic Soda and Potassium Hydroxide Caustic Potash Ash—with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
 
Another CPSC recall involved a cream by SeeNext Venture.

100% Sodium Hydroxide Drain Cleaner
 
The label on the 100% Sodium Hydroxide Drain Cleaner violates the Federal Hazardous Substance Act (FHSA) by omitting the word “poison” for poisonous chemicals and the mandatory hazard statement on the front on the packaging. Consumers should immediately store the recalled product in a safe location out of reach of children and contact Belle Chemical for a free replacement label to put on the product.
 
Sodium Hydroxide Lye/Caustic Soda and Potassium Hydroxide Caustic Potash Ash
 
These products contain sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide which must be in child resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA). The packaging of the products is not child resistant, posing a risk of chemical burns and irritation to the skin and eyes. In addition, the label on the product violates the Federal Hazardous Substance Act (FHSA) by omitting the word “poison” for poisonous chemicals and the mandatory hazard statement on the front on the packaging. Consumers should immediately store the recalled products in a safe location out of reach of children and contact Belle Chemical for a free replacement child-resistant packaging and label to put on the product.
 
NumbSkin Pain Relief Cream
 
NumbSkin pain relief cram with lidocaine by SeeNext Venture has been recalled because the packaging is not child resistant as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. Also, the pain-relieving cream contains lidocaine, posing a risk of poisoning to young children if they put it on their skin or ingest it. Consumers should immediately store the pain relief cream in a safe location out of reach of children and contact SeeNext Venture for instructions on how to dispose or return it and to receive a free replacement similar product with a child-resistant cap.  Amazon is contacting all known purchasers directly.
