The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), announced that Telebrands is recalling Hempvana pain relief products with lidocaine due to the failure to meet child-resistant packaging requirements.
According to CPSC, the products contain the substance lidocaine which must be in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The packaging of the products is not child-resistant, posing a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed or placed on the skin of young children.
These items are subject to the nationwide recall:
- Hempväna Ultra Strength Pain Relief Cream with Lidocaine;
- Hempväna Ultra Strength Pain Relief Cream Night with Lidocaine;
- Hempväna Ultra Strength Pain Relief Cream Turmeric with Lidocaine;
- Hempväna Pain Relieving Hand & Body Lotion with Lidocaine.
The pain relief products were sold between April 2021 and January 2022 for approximately $20.
“Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and store them in a safe location out of sight and reach of young children,” officials said.
"Contact Telebrands for information on how to safely dispose of the recalled products and how to receive a full refund or a free child-resistant closure for the jar products.”
