A CPSC recall dated October 29, 2026 covers about 11,000 RootStim minoxidil hair-regrowth products. The agency says their bottles lack the child-resistant packaging required for minoxidil, creating a potentially fatal poisoning hazard if young children swallow the contents. No injuries were reported in the notice.
Which products are affected
The notice lists three products: a 6 fl. oz. pack of 5% minoxidil foam with rosemary and biotin, UPC 810169130594; a 2 fl. oz. minoxidil spray with rosemary and biotin, UPC 810169301005; and a 4 fl. oz. minoxidil serum pack with rosemary, UPC 810169301012. The UPC labels are on the bottom of the boxes. The foam pack contains three 2 fl. oz. bottles; the serum pack contains two.
Where they were sold
According to CPSC, the products were available on Amazon from August 2025 through February 2026 for $20 to $40. The notice identifies RootStim LLC of New York and says the products were made in China.
What owners should do
CPSC advises keeping the affected products out of children’s sight and reach and contacting RootStim for replacement instructions. Its notice describes a process involving marking the bottle as recalled, discarding it and supplying a photograph. Follow the full official instructions and contact details linked below; the recall concerns packaging safety, not a finding about treatment effectiveness.
