Hair growth treatment product recalled in US over health risk to kids

Two hair growth products have been recalled due to a lack of child-resistant packaging, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced.

Both Ruahouine Hair Growth Serum and RootStim Beard Growth Serum contain minoxidil, which is a medication that widens blood vessels and is commonly used to stimulate hair growth.
