Commitment to Safety
Plant Therapy has always and will continue to value safety above all else. It’s why we have our KidSafe line and recommended dilution rates for all our essential oils. We want to make sure that if you buy an oil from us, you feel that you can use it safely in your home and around your family. That means giving you all the information upfront in our GC/MS reports as well as providing Pup & Pony approved, Pregnancy and Nursing safe and KidSafe information for each oil and blend. And whenever we receive new information about one of our products, we work as quickly as we can to inform you and rectify the situation when needed. Which brings us to Wintergreen.
Child Resistant Caps
In September 2019, it came to our attention that any product that contains more than 5% methyl salicylate, a naturally occurring substance in Wintergreen, would require a child-resistant cap to prevent the risk of poisoning if accidentally swallowed by a young child. We immediately pulled Wintergreen or any essential oil blend containing Wintergreen off the shelves and replaced the regular caps with the child-resistant caps.
Now, we are working with the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) to make sure that any Wintergreen, or blend containing Wintergreen, purchase prior to September 20th also gets the child-resistant cap as part of our voluntary recall. It is important to note that there have been no reported injuries related to this product.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Safety and quality are of the utmost importance to us. In the interest of you and your family’s safety, we want to provide you with all the information and safety precautions regarding our products.
