Zan International Trading Recalls Lotus Joy Sweet Birch Essential Oil Bottles Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Child Poisoning; Violates Mandatory Standard for Child-Resistant Packaging

What's being recalled

This recall involves Lotus Joy Organic Sweet Birch Essential Oil bottles. The essential oil comes in 0.34 fluid ounce amber bottles with a black cap and a separate glass dropper with a black cap. The white label on the bottle has orange and black text with "LotusJoy", "organic", "sweet birch", "essential oil and "betula lenta" printed on the front and ingredients and directions on the back. The packaging box is blue and has the same information as the front of the bottle in orange and black lettering and has directions and the distributor's information on the back.

The problem, in CPSC's words
