Prestone Products Recalls Antifreeze Due to Failure to Meet Child Resistant Packaging Requirements; Risk of Poisoning

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

The antifreeze products contain the substance ethylene glycol which must be in child resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The products' caps were not rotated enough during manufacturing to engage the child resistant mechanism, posing a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children.

What to do

Consumers should immediately inspect the product and twist the cap to ensure the child resistant mechanism is engaged.
