RootStim beard growth serum bottles lack required child-resistant packaging

RootStim Beard Growth Serum bottles are not in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The minoxidil contents pose a risk of serious injury or death if swallowed by young children, though no injuries have been reported.

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 source explicitly states no injuries have been reported. The product poses a theoretical risk of serious injury or death from poisoning if minoxidil is swallowed by children. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported score 3 (High). The violation of mandatory child-resistant packaging requirements is the basis for this severity assessment.

Plain-English summary

RootStim Beard Growth Serum spray bottles (5% Minoxidil) are being recalled because their packaging does not meet mandatory child-resistant packaging requirements under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The bottles—sold in black spray bottles with orange and black labels—contain minoxidil that must be stored in child-resistant containers.

Approximately 16,900 bottles were sold online through Amazon.com from November 2024 through September 2025 for approximately $20 each. The product was manufactured by Ronghui Intelligent Manufacturing Technology (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd., of China and distributed by RootStim LLC of Lanham, Maryland.

Minoxidil is a topical hair-growth product that poses a risk of serious injury or death if swallowed by young children. The non-child-resistant packaging creates an increased risk of accidental poisoning. No injuries have been reported to date.
