The hazard: Child-resistant packaging failure

Child-resistant packaging failed testing here, which is the specific defect the Poison Prevention Packaging Act exists to catch.

What the notice says: The recalled test kits contain a bottle of sulfuric acid, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The test kits violate the mandatory standard for child-resistant packaging because the bottle of sulfuric acid is not child-resistant, posing a risk of serious injury or death from poisoning, if the contents are swallowed by young children.

Why it matters: The packaging does not meet the child-resistant standard the Poison Prevention Packaging Act requires for this type of product. A young child can open it, and the contents are harmful if swallowed.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

If a child has swallowed any of the contents, call Poison Control on 1-800-222-1222 straight away — before searching online, and before trying to make them sick. Have the container with you so you can read the ingredients and strength. Call 911 instead if the child is drowsy, having a seizure, struggling to breathe or unconscious.

Products covered by this recall

This recall involves Almpal dissolved oxygen test kits. The test kits come in a cream-colored box bearing a white label with "Dissolved Oxygen Test Kit" and the manufacture date, batch number, and expiration date printed on it.

What to do about Packaging

Child-resistant packaging failed testing here, which is the specific defect the Poison Prevention Packaging Act exists to catch.

  1. Move the product somewhere a child genuinely cannot reach — a high, locked cupboard rather than a high shelf.
  2. Save the Poison Control number, 1-800-222-1222, into your phone now rather than looking for it in an emergency.
  3. Follow the remedy on this page; most of these recalls are refunded or re-packaged free.
  4. Check whether you have other packs from the same lot in a bathroom cabinet or a garage.

If the claim stalls

Most recall claims are paid without argument. The ones that stall usually stall for a reason you can fix.

  • Check you used the recall channel rather than ordinary customer support — the two queues rarely talk to each other.
  • Send the photos they asked for in the format they asked for. A missing date code is the single commonest reason a claim sits unprocessed.
  • Give it ten working days, then chase in writing and quote your claim reference.
  • If the company is unresponsive or has stopped trading, report it to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov, and try the retailer in parallel.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should immediately secure the recalled test kits out of sight and reach of children and contact Almpal for how to properly dispose of the recalled bottles and for information on how to receive a full refund. Prior to disposing of the recalled kits, consumers will be asked to submit a photo to the seller's account through Amazon's messaging platform. A full refund will be issued upon successful verification of the submitted images. Only unexpired kits are included in this recall, which involves kits sold after May 2025. Consumers should dispose of all kits, expired, unexpired or unused in accordance with local household hazardous waste regulation. Note: Physically returning the product is not required.

Company contact: Almpal via email at [email protected] for more information.
