The Hazard
POISONING
TecFlox is recalling its hair and beard growth serum bottles because they aren’t child-resistant. This means young children could easily open the bottles and swallow the serum, which contains minoxidil. Swallowing this serum can cause serious injury or even death to a child. The product violates the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, which requires certain products to have child-resistant packaging.
About 900 units affected. No injuries reported.
Technical Breakdown
The TecFlox hair and beard growth serum contains minoxidil, a chemical that can be very dangerous if swallowed by children. Federal law requires products containing minoxidil to have special packaging that is difficult for children to open. This is to prevent accidental poisonings.
The TecFlox bottles do not meet these safety standards. Testing has shown that children can easily open the bottles and access the serum inside. This creates a significant risk of accidental poisoning if the product is left within reach of children.
Affected Products
- TecFlox Hair and Beard Growth Serum in white plastic bottles sold in packs of four. Look for “TecFlox Minoxidil Topical Solution” on the label and “MFD 2025.8.25” on the underside of the bottle.
Sentinel Action Plan
- STOP: Immediately secure the recalled serum bottles out of sight and reach of children.
- DOCUMENT: Check to see if you have remaining serum in the recalled bottles.
- ACT: Contact TecFlox at TecFloxrecall@outlook.com to receive free replacement serum bottles, including free shipping. They will ask you to dispose of the bottles once you have received the new ones. Only bottles with serum remaining will be replaced.
