Plantimex recalls Mamisan Pain Relieving Topical Ointment jars because lids are not child-resistant
The lidocaine ointment jars lack the child-resistant packaging the law requires, so young children who swallow the ointment could suffer serious injury or death from poisoning.
What to do
Right away, keep the jars out of the sight and reach of children and contact Plantimex for a free replacement lid. Once the new lid is on, you can keep using the ointment as directed.
