Recall: Scope Original Mint Mouthwash
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Proctor & Gamble are recalling about 35,000, one-liter size of Scope Original Mint Mouthwash because of malfunctioning child-resistent caps.
No injuries have been reported.
From the CPSC:
Hazard: The mouthwash contains ethyl alcohol and certain bottles have malfunctioning child-resistant caps and lack the statement, “This Package for Households Without Young children,” as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. Ethyl alcohol is toxic and can cause serious injury or death if ingested by children.
Description: This recall involves some bottles of Scope® Original Mint Mouthwash in 1 liter sizes. The recalled bottles have the number 4 on the bottom of the bottle. The bottles with the 4 on the bottom may not be child-resistant. Consumers can also attempt to twist the cap open. If the cap can be twisted off without squeezing the tabs on the cap, the package is not child-resistant.
Sold at: Drug stores, grocery stores and other retailers between January 2010 and June 2010 for about $4.
Consumers can contact Proctor & Gamble for a full refund or a replacement coupon.
