Heritage Store hydrogen peroxide mouthwashes recalled due to child packaging violation, risk of poisoning

Nutraceutical announced hydrogen peroxide mouthwashes by Heritage Store were recalled Thursday after the bottles were discovered to be in violation of child-resistant packaging requirements.

A recall was issued after it was discovered that the mouthwash contains ethanol in a concentration that requires child-resistant packaging under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. Since the bottles are not up to the standard, there is a risk of poisoning if a child swallows the liquid.

The recall affects the “wintermint” and “eucalyptus mint” flavors, which account for about 102,100 bottles, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission alert.

No injuries have been reported as of Thursday.

All lots are included in the recall.
