Product
DIYChemicals: Potassium Hydroxide/KOH Flakes and Sodium Hydroxide | This recall involves Chemboys LLC's DIYChemicals potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide products. These products are commonly used for soapmaking and cleaning. The sodium hydroxide, also called lye or caustic soda, and the potassium hydroxide products were sold in a heat-sealed or resealable bag available from 200 gram to 10-pound sizes. "DIYChemicals" is printed on the front of the product packaging.
