Washington, DCThe Procter & Gamble Co, of Cincinnati, OH, is recalling about 35,000 bottles of Scope Original Mint Mouthwash, 1 Liter Size because the mouthwash contains ethyl alcohol and certain bottles have malfunctioning child-resistant caps and lack the statement, "This Package for Households Without Young children," as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. Ethyl alcohol is toxic and can cause serious injury or death if ingested by children.
The recalled bottles have the number 4 on the bottom of the bottle. The bottles with the 4 on the bottom may not be child-resistant. Consumers can also attempt to twist the cap open. If the cap can be twisted off without squeezing the tabs on the cap, the package is not child-resistant.
The mouthwash was sold at drug stores, grocery stores and other retailers between January 2010 and June 2010 for about $4.
