Published August 31, 2023 · Recall initiated: August 31, 2023

What's the hazard

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 Substances Act (FHSA) by not including mandatory information on the packaging.

What to do

Consumers should immediately store the recalled products in a safe location out of sight and reach of children. Contact Chemboys to receive free replacement child resistant packaging and a new label. All known purchasers are being contacted directly by the firm.
