Ointment Sold at Walmart, Target Recalled over Child Poisoning Risk
Plantimex recalls 50,000 Mamisan ointment jars with non-child-resistant lids containing lidocaine, urging consumers to secure products and get free replacement lids.
- Plantimex Distributors recalled Mamisan Pain Relieving Topical Ointment jars after safety concerns, affecting about 50,000 containers, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
- Because the ointment contains lidocaine, Mamisan Pain Relieving Topical Ointment must use child-resistant packaging under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, but federal safety officials say its container poses a risk of serious injury or death if ingested by children.
- The recalled jars are 3.52-ounce orange plastic jars with a white continuous-thread screw-top lid and Mamisan branding, identified by UPC 860006498115.
- Consumers and parents should immediately secure recalled jars out of children's reach and contact Plantimex for a free replacement lid at toll‑free 855‑752‑6869 or customercare@plantimexusa.com.
- The ointment was sold at Walmart, Target, and Target.com nationwide from April 2024 through October of this year for about $10, with the recall based on a U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission notice.
