Alliance Chemical Sodium Hydroxide Products Recalled: Child Safety Risk
Alliance Chemical recalls sodium hydroxide drain cleaners due to non-child-resistant packaging and missing 'poison' label, risking chemical burns to children. Consumers should store safely and get free replacements.
The products contain sodium hydroxide, which must be in child resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA). The packaging of the products is not child resistant, posing a risk of chemical burns and irritation to the skin and eyes. In addition, the label on the products violate the Federal Hazardous Substance Act (FHSA) by omitting the word "poison" and other mandatory information on the packaging.
