The hazard: Child-resistant packaging failure

This recall is about a cap or closure a child can open. That matters because the contents are hazardous if swallowed in quantity.

What the notice says: The recalled products contain sodium hydroxide (lye), which must be in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA). The packaging is not child-resistant, posing a risk of chemical burns and irritation to the skin and eyes. The products also violate the labeling requirements for hazardous substances under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA).

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 mGanna Sodium Hydroxide pellet bags. The product is packaged in a vacuum-sealed clear plastic bag inside a white, zip-top pouch with a tear-away feature. The front of the package states "mGanna SODIUM HYDROXIDE (NaOH)" at the top. Sodium hydroxide has a variety of uses such as soap making, baking, and cleaning solutions.

What to do about Packaging

This recall is about a cap or closure a child can open. That matters because the contents are hazardous if swallowed in quantity.

  1. Move the product somewhere a child genuinely cannot reach — a high, locked cupboard rather than a high shelf.
  2. Do not decant it into another container, especially not a drinks bottle or a food jar.
  3. Save the Poison Control number, 1-800-222-1222, into your phone now rather than looking for it in an emergency.
  4. Follow the remedy on this page; most of these recalls are refunded or re-packaged free.

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.
  • 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.
  • A replacement is usually the current model, not the recalled one. Confirm the replacement is not itself under recall.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should stop using and secure the recalled sodium hydroxide product out of sight and reach of children immediately and contact Archie Xpress for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to write "RECALLED" on the back of the zip-top pouch and send a photo of the marked pouch to [email protected]. Consumers should then dispose of the pellets in accordance with local and state regulations. Note: Consumers should follow local household hazardous waste (HHW) guidance for corrosive solids. Contact your city, county, or state HHW program for instructions, as requirements may differ by location. Recommend safe approach: Keep the product in its package, clearly label it "DO NOT USE" and bring it to a local HHW drop-off facility.
