What's being recalled
MedPride Baby Oil
Units: About 8,420
This recall involves MedPride Baby Oil bottles. The baby oil comes in a clear bottle with a pink cap and a white and pink front and back label. The front label bears the "MedPride" logo. The label contains "Baby Oil" in pink lettering, "Helps smooth, soften & moisturize skin", and "Hypoallergenic" in blue lettering. The back label contains directions, warnings, and manufacturer information in blue lettering.
The problem, in CPSC's words
The baby oil contains low-viscosity hydrocarbons, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The baby oil's packaging is not child-resistant, posing a risk of serious injury or illness from poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children. Additionally, petroleum distillates can get into the lungs, causing chemical pneumonia and/or pulmonary damage, which can be fatal.
Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC
None reported
What CPSC says to do
