Taylor Water Technologies Phosphate Reagent Bottles Sold with Test Kits
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The recalled Taylor Water Technologies reagent bottles sold with test kits contain sulfuric acid, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA). The packaging for the bottle with sulfuric acid is not child resistant, posing a risk of chemical burns to the skin or eyes and internal corrosive burns, if ingested.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Fire or burn risk.
