Hair growth treatments recall due to a lack of child-proof packaging

Consumers are urged to promptly store the recalled serum bottles in a safe place, away from children’s view and reach.

WASHINGTON — A recall has been issued for certain hair growth products sold across the country due to inadequate child-resistant packaging, as reported by the Consumer Product Safety Commission on Thursday.

The commission identified two minoxidil-based hair growth serums for lacking proper child-resistant packaging, which poses a significant risk of poisoning that could lead to serious injury or even death. The recall involves approximately 16,900 units of RootStim Beard Growth Serum 5% Minoxidil and around 25,000 units of Ruahouine Hair Growth Serum.

Consumers are urged to promptly store the recalled serum bottles in a safe place, away from children’s view and reach.

The affected Ruahouine hair growth serums were available on Amazon from January to July 2025, priced at around $10 each.
