Souris Verte brand household alcohol recalled due to a risk of aspiration and the lack of child-resistant packaging
Brand(s)
Summary
Immediately stop using the recalled product and contact Souris Verte for credit or product replacement.
Affected products
This recall involves the Souris Verte brand household alcohol, 970 mL, UPC code 684968092507, lot numbers 338608 and 0175811.
Issue
The recalled products do not meet the labelling and child-resistant packaging requirements of the Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001 under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act.
These products pose an aspiration hazard if inhaled or ingested. The lack of child-resistant packaging and appropriate labelling information could result in unintentional exposure to the products and lead to serious illness or injury, including death.
Aspiration into the lungs can occur when the product enters the lungs directly or is coughed up or vomited after being ingested. This coughing/vomiting could cause small particles of the product to travel into the lungs, or the product may be inhaled directly in the form of a fine mist. This may result in serious health effects.
As of December 13, 2024, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product and contact Souris Verte for credit or product replacement.

Please note that the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act prohibits recalled products from being redistributed, sold or even given away in Canada.
