Ecoxall Sodium Hydroxide Caustic Soda Beads and Potassium Hydroxide Flakes
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The 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.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Fire or burn risk.
