Injuries Resulting from Exposure to Methyl Salicylate in Essential Oils
Methyl Salicylate found in essential oils can be toxic to children if ingested. More specifically, toxicity or poisoning may occur. A 22-pound child can develop life-threatening poisoning with just a small sip of any product containing Methyl Salicylate. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, tinnitus, dizziness, and tachypnea (fast, shallow breathing). In severe cases, the beforementioned symptoms may be more pronounced and may also include fever, sweating, weakness, and dehydration.
Steps to Take If Your Child is Injured

- Take photos of the product
- Take photos of any visible harm (although there may not be physical injuries, your child may look sick)
- Seek medical care as soon as possible and follow all treatment recommendations
- Contact Gumili to report the defect and the incident that happened
- Do not agree to a refund, a replacement product, or to sign any document provided

Is there a Class Action Lawsuit?
Because the recall is very recent and there has not been any reported incidents or injuries, there is not currently a class action claim. However, this does not been that one will not be filed in the future. When it comes to product recalls affecting thousands of products, mass torts and class action claims are common. Can I file a class action lawsuit? Yes, you can file a class action claim. However, since additional victims will need to come forward, you can expect this process to be a lengthy one. How can I join or be a part of a class action lawsuit on this case? When cases already exist, joining can be as simple as reaching out to your lawyer.
