Dissolved Oxygen Test Kits Recalled Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Poisoning to Young Children; Violates Mandatory Standard for Child-Resistant Packaging; Sold on Amazon by Almpal

What's being recalled

This recall involves Almpal dissolved oxygen test kits. The test kits come in a cream-colored box bearing a white label with "Dissolved Oxygen Test Kit" and the manufacture date, batch number, and expiration date printed on it.

The problem, in CPSC's words

The recalled test kits contain a bottle of sulfuric acid, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The test kits violate the mandatory standard for child-resistant packaging because the bottle of sulfuric acid is not child-resistant, posing a risk of serious injury or death from poisoning, if the contents are swallowed by young children.
