Ruahouine Hair Growth Serum bottles containing minoxidil lack legally-required child-resistant packaging. About 25,000 units sold on Amazon present a serious risk of poisoning if ingested by young children.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves minoxidil bottles lacking legally-required child-resistant packaging, violating the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. Although no injuries have been reported, the risk of serious injury or death from child poisoning is substantial, meeting the criteria for a High severity rating.

Plain-English summary

This recall involves Ruahouine Hair Growth Serum bottles sold on Amazon between January and July 2025. The bottles contain 5% minoxidil in 60ml transparent amber dropper bottles with labels reading 'Ruahouine,' 'Minoxidil Hair Growth Serum,' and '5% Minoxidil With Biotin.' About 25,000 units were distributed.

The bottles do not meet the legal requirement for child-resistant packaging mandated by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. Minoxidil is a substance that can cause serious injury or death if swallowed by young children.

Consumers who purchased these bottles should immediately secure them out of sight and reach of children. Contact Ruahouine at [email protected] to arrange proper disposal, a refund, or a replacement bottle. The manufacturer will ask consumers to pour the contents into the trash and email a photo of the empty bottle as proof. No injuries had been reported as of the recall date.
