Sodium hydroxide can cause serious chemical burns and irritation to the skin and eyes. It’s super important to keep this product away from children!
About 3,240 units are affected. No injuries have been reported yet.
Technical Breakdown
The recalled product contains sodium hydroxide (lye), a hazardous substance that requires child-resistant packaging under federal law. The packaging of these mGanna Sodium Hydroxide pellet bags does not meet these standards, making it easy for children to access the contents. If a child comes into contact with the sodium hydroxide pellets, it can lead to severe chemical burns to the skin and eyes. Ingestion can cause internal burns and serious health complications.
Additionally, the product violates labeling requirements for hazardous substances, meaning consumers may not be fully aware of the dangers associated with using the product. This lack of proper labeling further increases the risk of accidental exposure and injury, especially for households with young children.
