Federal regulators have issued a recall for Joly's 80% Vinegar sold on Amazon after discovering the product could cause fatal poisoning or serious chemical burns, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced.
The recall affects approximately 450 units of the high-strength vinegar, sold between May and November 2025 for around $23 per two-bottle pack.
According to Yahoo, the 32-ounce bottles are transparent with white caps and feature an orange and red label displaying the "Joly's" brand, "80% Vinegar," and "Dilutes to 5 Gallons." The containers have no other markings or safety instructions.
"The product violates the precautionary labeling requirements under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act because the vinegar lacks required labels and first-aid treatment instructions," the CPSC said in a notice.
Officials warned that swallowing the contents could be deadly, while improper handling could result in severe chemical burns to the skin and eyes.
As of February 20, no injuries or incidents have been reported in connection with the recalled vinegar.
Nevertheless, the CPSC urged consumers to take immediate action to prevent accidents.
Buyers are advised to move the vinegar out of reach of children and contact Joly's for a full refund and instructions on safe disposal.

Dispose of Recalled Joly's 80% Vinegar Safely
Consumers are asked to email jolysllc@gmail.com with a photo of the product in its original packaging showing "RECALLED" written on the container.
Joly's can also be reached by phone at 240-412-8720 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, USA Today reported.
The recall highlights growing concerns about hazardous household products sold online without proper safety warnings.
Industrial-strength items like Joly's 80% vinegar, while intended for dilution, can be extremely dangerous if mishandled or ingested.
The CPSC emphasized that the recall is necessary to prevent potential injuries, particularly to children or unsuspecting adults.
The agency's alert comes amid a broader effort to ensure that products sold through e-commerce platforms comply with federal safety requirements.
"Consumers should immediately move the recalled vinegar out of sight and reach of children and follow the company's instructions for a refund and safe disposal," the CPSC said.
