mGanna Sodium Hydroxide (lye) pellet bags, used for soap making, baking and cleaning, were sold on Amazon by Archie Xpress. They were recalled because the packaging is not child-resistant as federal law requires, posing a risk of chemical burns and irritation to the skin and eyes, and the labeling also violates federal requirements.

What to do

Consumers should stop using and secure the recalled sodium hydroxide product out of sight and reach of children immediately and contact Archie Xpress for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to write "RECALLED" on the back of the zip-top pouch and send a photo of the marked pouch to support@archieenterprise.in. Consumers should then dispose of the pellets in accordance with local and state regulations. Note: Consumers should follow local household hazardous waste (HHW) guidance for corrosive solids. Contact your city, county, or state HHW program for instructions, as requirements may differ by location. Recommend safe approach: Keep the product in its package, clearly label it "DO NOT USE" and bring it to a local HHW drop-off facility.
