CPSC and So's U.S.A. Company Announce Recall of "Wood Lock
Medicated Balm"
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC), So's U.S.A. Company Inc.
of Los Angeles is voluntarily recalling over 170,000
bottles of Wood Lock Medicated Balm, imported from China.
The product, containing more than five percent of methyl
salicylate, does not have the required child resistant
packaging. Methyl Salicylate can poison young children if
ingested, seriously injuring or killing them.
CPSC and So's are not aware of any injuries involving
this product. This recall is being conducted to prevent the
possibility of injury.
Consumers use the medicated balm, packaged in .85- and
1.7-fluid-ounce glass bottles with black plastic caps, to
relieve muscle aches and pains. A label on the bottle reads
in part, "WOOD LOCK Medicated Balm," with Chinese
characters and a photo of a man's face in the center.
Drug stores, health food stores, Chinese groceries, and
health stores sold the balm in California and Oregon from
1994 through July 1996 for approximately $2.30 for the
.85-oz. bottle and $3.45 for the 1.7-oz. bottle.
Consumers should return the balm to the store where
purchased for a full refund. For more information, consumers
should call So's toll-free at (888) 221-3496 from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m PST.
The Food and Drug Administration referred this matter
to CPSC.
