US/Bethesda & Canada/Ottawa: Aesop USA Inc., a New York, New York establishment and Aesop Canada Inc, a Vancouver. British Columbia establishment, recall an estimated total 176,200 of Aesop branded Bathroom Deodorizing Drops and Oil Burner Blends (approximately 154,300 in the US and approximately 21,900 in Canada) from the American and Canadian marketplaces due to suspected failure to meet US and Canadian child resistant closure requirements under the US Poison Prevention Packaging Act as well as Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001 under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act.
In addition, the recalled products reportedly violates the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) by omitting the mandatory information on the packaging with consequential risks of child poisoning, aspiration, burns, ingestion and GI tract laceration damage, all serious health and safety hazards requiring immediate medical intervention to minimize pain and suffering as well as prevent life-altering injury or death.
