Ruahouine Hair Growth Serum Bottles
Description
This recall involves Ruahouine Hair Growth Serum. The serum comes in 60ml (2.11 fl. oz.) transparent amber dropper bottles. “Ruahouine”, “Minoxidil Hair Growth Serum”, and “5% Minoxidil With Biotin” are printed on labels wrapped around the bottles.
Hazard
The serum bottles contain minoxidil, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the https://www.cpsc.gov/Business--Manufacturing/Business-Education/Busines… lang="EN-US">Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The serum’s packaging is not child-resistant, posing a risk of serious injury or death from poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children.

Consumers should immediately secure the recalled serum bottles and place them out of sight and reach of children. Contact Ruahouine for instructions on how to destroy the recalled bottles and how to receive a refund or replacement bottle. Consumers will be asked to pour the contents of the bottle into the trash and take a photo of the bottle in the trash and email it to [email protected].

Frequently Asked Questions
Follow the consumer action instructions in the recall notice above. Most recalls require you to stop using the product and contact the manufacturer directly — either by calling the toll-free number listed in the official CPSC notice or by visiting the manufacturer's website. You generally do not need a receipt or original packaging to claim a remedy. The manufacturer is legally required to provide the remedy (Refund, Replace) at no cost to you.
Yes. If you were injured by a defective consumer product — whether recalled or not — you may have grounds for a product liability claim against the manufacturer and potentially the retailer. A recall notice can serve as evidence that the manufacturer was aware of the defect. Injuries that may support a claim include burns, lacerations, fractures, electric shock, choking incidents, and chemical exposure. Most product liability attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless you win. Consult an attorney promptly, as statutes of limitation vary by state.
In most cases, no. CPSC-coordinated recall remedies are designed to be accessible without proof of purchase. Manufacturers typically ask consumers to self-certify ownership and may ask for photos of the product or its serial number. Some manufacturers request that you mail in a portion of the product (such as a cut cord or removed component) as proof of disposal. Check the specific remedy instructions for this recall for exact requirements. If you registered your product at the time of purchase, the process is usually even simpler.
If the original manufacturer has gone out of business, the recall remedy may no longer be available through them. In this case, contact CPSC directly at 1-800-638-2772 or cpsc.gov for guidance. If the brand was acquired by another company, the acquiring company may have assumed recall obligations. In some cases where a remedy is unavailable, CPSC advises consumers to safely dispose of the product. If you were injured by the product of a defunct company, consult a product liability attorney — parent companies, distributors, and retailers may still bear liability in some circumstances.
