Why is it being recalled? (Hazard)

The packaging of the products is not child resistant, posing a risk of chemical burns and irritation to the skin and eyes. In addition, the label on the products violates the Federal Hazardous Substance Act (FHSA) by omitting the word "poison" and other mandatory information on the packaging.
What should I do? (Remedy)
