If Heartland Labs products are so safe, why do the products contain cautionary warning labels and why are they packaged with child resistant caps?
The surfactant component of these products, like any soap, may cause eye irritation. In addition, live microbes, even non-pathogenic, saprophytic microbes, may cause irritation in skin cuts, sores or abrasions. Thus, all Heartland Labs microbial products contain Caution – Keep Out of Reach of Children language on the labels. The only product in the Heartland Labs line that technically requires a child-resistant closure is Root Gone, which is an EPA registered pesticide. Heartland Labs, as a matter of corporate policy and consumer protection, packages all consumer products, except spray bottle applicators, in child resistant caps.
