The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced the recall of 27,400 spray bottles of Tomum Hair Regrowth Treatment with Minoxidil due to the lack of child-resistant packaging. This recall, announced Thursday (March 5), is a response to concerns that the product poses a risk of serious injury or death if ingested by young children.

According to the CPSC, the Poison Prevention Packaging Act of 1970 mandates child-resistant packaging for products containing minoxidil, a medication known to cause severe drops in blood pressure and increased heart rates if consumed. While no injuries have been reported, the potential danger has prompted the recall.

The affected products were sold on Amazon from March to September 2025 for approximately $20. These 100mL bottles, distributed by Belleka Inc of China, are silver with a blue label and black cap, packaged in a blue box with "TOMUM" and "Hair Growth Treatment" printed on the front.

Consumers are advised to secure the bottles out of children's reach and contact Belleka for a free replacement, which includes two child-resistant bottles of serum. Customers should dispose of the recalled product and send a photo of the discarded bottle to Belleka via email.

Minoxidil, popular for treating hair loss, works by increasing blood flow to hair follicles. Despite its effectiveness, it must be handled carefully to prevent accidental ingestion. The FDA has only approved minoxidil for hair loss treatment, and it is also sold under the brand name Rogaine.

For further information, consumers can contact Belleka via email or phone.
