The hazard: Product safety hazard

This product was recalled on safety grounds. The safest first move is to put it out of reach rather than to carry on using it carefully.

What the notice says: The recalled vinegar product violates the precautionary labeling requirements under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) because the hazardous substance lacks required warning labels and first-aid treatment instructions. This poses a deadly risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed and a serious injury from chemical burns to the skin and eyes if improperly handled.

Why it matters: The CPSC published this recall because the product can injure someone. The hazard statement above describes how.

What to do about Product safety

Joly's — This product was recalled on safety grounds. The safest first move is to put it out of reach rather than to carry on using it carefully.

How the remedy works

CPSC recalls specify one of three remedies, and which one you get is not negotiable — but how smoothly it goes often is.

  • A refund means the purchase price back, sometimes prorated by age for durable goods. Ask how they calculated it if the figure looks low.
  • Several recalls now ask you to destroy the item and send a photo as proof. Register the claim before you do that, never after.
  • Return shipping is the company’s cost. If you are asked to pay it, push back.
  • A repair kit is shipped free and is designed to be fitted at home; if you cannot fit it, ask whether they will arrange installation.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should move the vinegar products out of sight and reach of children immediately and contact Joly's to receive a full refund and disposal instructions. Consumers will be asked to send an email to [email protected] with a photo of the recalled product in its original packaging and "RECALLED" printed on the container.

Company contact: Joly's at 240-412-8720 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or email at [email protected].
