Modernist Pantry Sodium Hydroxide Products
Check whether yours is affected, then follow the instructions below.
What’s wrong
The products contain sodium 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 products violate the Federal Hazardous Substance Act (FHSA) by omitting the word "poison" and other mandatory information on the packaging.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Fire or burn risk.
