What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Mamisan Pain Relieving Topical Ointment?
Mamisan Pain Relieving Topical Ointment (MiramarLab, of Doral, Florida) was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The ointment contains lidocaine, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The ointment's packaging is not child-resistant, posing a risk of serious injury or death from poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should immediately secure the recalled ointment jars out of the sight and reach of children and contact Plantimex to receive a free replacement lid. Once the product is secured with the replacement lid, consumers can use the product, as directed. Sold at: Walmart and Target stores nationwide and online at Target.com from April 2024 through October 2025 for about $10.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 50,330 units of Mamisan Pain Relieving Topical Ointment are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
