Kwok Shing, Inc. American Ginsengs. Product OF Wisconsin recall: Potential contamination with pesticides

Recall published 25 days ago

Potential contamination with pesticides.

The hazard: Harmful chemical exposure

A chemical contaminant is behind this recall. The official notice names the substance, and that name is what a clinician or Poison Control will want to hear.

What the notice says: Potential contamination with pesticides.

Why it matters: A chemical that should not be present at this level was found in the product. Depending on the substance, the concern may be a burn or irritation on contact, or a long-term risk from repeated exposure.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

For a splash or spill, rinse the skin or eyes with running water for 15 to 20 minutes and remove contaminated clothing. If the product was swallowed, or if there is any trouble breathing, call Poison Control on 1-800-222-1222, which operates free and around the clock — or 911 if the person is collapsing, struggling to breathe or unconscious. Take the container or a photo of the label with you to any appointment.

What to do about Chemical

Kwok Shing, Inc. — A chemical contaminant is behind this recall. The official notice names the substance, and that name is what a clinician or Poison Control will want to hear.

  1. Stop using the product and keep it away from children and pets.
  2. Keep the container — the lot code on it is what a refund claim and any medical follow-up both depend on.
  3. If anyone has symptoms, call Poison Control on 1-800-222-1222 rather than guessing.
  4. Do not pour it down a drain or into a bin without checking local hazardous-waste rules, and never mix it with another cleaner.

Claiming your refund, repair or replacement

The recalling company decides the remedy and funds it. You should never pay for a recall repair or for return shipping.

  • Use the company contact on this page first. Most firms run a dedicated recall page with a claim form that is far quicker than their main support line.
  • No receipt? Say so. Recall refunds are routinely paid without proof of purchase, because the hazard is what triggers the obligation.
  • If you bought it from a retailer rather than the brand, try both. Target, Walmart and Amazon often refund recalled goods from the order history.
  • If the company stops responding, escalate to the CPSC. Firms under a recall order have reporting duties to the agency.
