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 serum bottles contain minoxidil, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The serum's packaging 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 Viofairy Hair Growth Serum. The hair serum comes in black and gold packaging and a black bottle with gold and white label and a black cap. The hair serum has "VIOFAIRY HAIR GROWTH SERUM" and "5% MINOXIDIL With BIOTIN" printed on labels located the front of the bottle.

What to do about Packaging

Guangzhou Runshu BioTech Co., Ltd. of China — 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. Follow the remedy on this page; most of these recalls are refunded or re-packaged free.
  3. Check whether you have other packs from the same lot in a bathroom cabinet or a garage.
  4. Do not decant it into another container, especially not a drinks bottle or a food jar.

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.
  • 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.
  • Paid by card? A chargeback for goods that are unfit for sale is a legitimate fallback once the company has had a fair chance.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should immediately secure the recalled serum bottles out of sight and reach of children and contact FDAF for instructions on how to destroy the recalled bottles and to receive a free replacement. Consumers will be asked to pour the contents of the bottle into the trash and email a photo of the bottle in the trash to [email protected].
