WASHINGTON, July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using VIOFAIRY Hair Growth Serums. The hair serums contain minoxidil and must be in child resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The packaging is not child-resistant, posing a risk of serious injury or death from poisoning if the serum is swallowed by young children.

CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, hainanxingyumaoyiyouxiangongsi, of China, doing business as Xingyu-USA. Xingyu-USA has not agreed to recall these serums or offer a remedy to consumers.

About 18,500 hair growth serums were sold online at Amazon.com from May 2024 through May 2025 for about $14. The serums come in a black-tinted bottle with a clear dropper with gold accents. "VIOFAIRY Hair Growth Serum 5% Minoxidil Biotin" is written on the front of the bottle. The back of the bottle contains an ingredient list and instructions for use. The hair growth serums may have been sold on other platforms by various sellers.

These products were manufactured in China.

CPSC urges consumers to immediately secure the serums out of sight and reach of children and dispose of them.

Report any incidents involving injury or product defect to CPSC at www.SaferProducts.gov.
