About This Product

GM Gumili Wintergreen Essential Oil is a popular essential oil used for its aromatic properties and potential therapeutic benefits. Consumers typically purchase it for use in aromatherapy, massage, or topical applications.

Why This Is Dangerous

The essential oil contains methyl salicylate, a toxic compound that must be stored in child-resistant packaging to prevent accidental ingestion by children. The current packaging does not meet safety requirements, increasing the risk of poisoning.

Industry Context

This recall is part of a broader pattern of essential oils lacking proper safety packaging, which poses risks for child safety.

Real-World Impact

This recall presents a significant safety concern for households with children, as improper packaging could lead to severe poisoning incidents if the oil is ingested.

Practical Guidance

How to identify if yours is affected

  1. Check the label for the "GM" logo and the product name "Wintergreen Essential Oil".
  2. Examine the packaging to confirm the lack of child-resistant features.
  3. Verify purchase date; products sold after January 2023 and before February 2026 are potentially affected.
