This recall involves Aesop Post-Poo Drops, a bathroom deodorizer in a 100 mL amber glass bottle, with a continuous thread pipette dispenser closure. The bottle has a black and cream label with the brand name Aesop. The UPC number 9319944009200 is located on the rear of the bottle, directly below the ingredients list. The deodorizer product was also sold in four versions of the Home Kit: The Protector, The Seasoned Wayfarer, The Melodist, and The Familiar Horizon. The UPC numbers for four versions of the Home Kit are located on the rear of the printed sleeve. Only the Aesop Post-Poo Drops in the kit are included in this recall. The product names and UPC are as follows: Product Name UPC Description Post-Poo Drops 9319944009200 100 mL amber glass bottle, with a continuous thread pipette dispenser closure The Protector 9319944030198 100 mL amber glass bottle, with a continuous thread pipette dispenser closure The Seasoned Wayfarer 9319944023794 100 mL amber glass bottle, with a continuous thread pipette dispenser closure The Melodist 9319944022278 100 mL amber glass bottle, with a continuous thread pipette dispenser closure The Familiar Horizon 9319944016017 100 mL amber glass bottle, with a continuous thread pipette dispenser closure. This recall also involves four Aesop Oil Burner Blends: Anouk, Beatrice, Catherine, and Isabelle. The aromatic oil blends intended to be used in an oil burner.

The recalled products contain low-viscosity hydrocarbons which must be in child resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA). The packaging of the products is not child resistant, posing a risk of poisoning. In addition, the label on the products violates the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) by omitting the mandatory information on the packaging.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and store them in a safe location out of reach and sight of young children. Contact Aesop for information on how to safely dispose of the recalled products and how to receive a full refund in the form of an Aesop digital gift card in the amount of the price of the recalled product(s). The gift card can be used towards the purchase of any Aesop product at any Aesop store or online at https://www.aesop.com. To obtain the digital gift card, consumers should complete the Refund Request Form at http://aesop.com/us/r/recall-2022 and follow instructions on how to upload a picture showing the batch number and UPC/barcode of the recalled product, and confirm that the recalled product will be disposed in household waste. Consumers who purchased a Home Kit, which includes the recalled product and two other items, will only receive a refund equivalent to the purchase price of the recalled Aesop Post-Poo Drops.
