More than 100,000 mouthwash bottles recalled for increased risk of poisoning children
Mary Walrath-HoldridgeMore than 100,000 mouthwash bottles are being recalled nationwide for increased poisoning risk.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall Thursday, saying in part that the hydrogen peroxide mouthwash bottles in question were not sealed with proper childproofing.
About 102,100 bottles of Heritage Store Hydrogen Peroxide Mouthwash sold between October 2010 and December 2023 were affected, according to the recall notice. The mouthwash in question contains enough of the ingredient ethanol to require childsafe packaging, but affected units were found not to be child-resistant, a violation of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA).
The lack of proper childproofing increases the risk of children ingesting the product and becoming poisoned.
What mouthwashes are recalled?
Heritage Store Hydrogen Peroxide Mouthwash in the flavors Wintermint and Eucalyptus Mint are subject to the recall.
The bottles are a dark opaque brown with a white lid. The pink and white label on the front of the bottles displays the Heritage Store logo, product name and flavor.
