What Is Turpentine?
According to MedlinePlus, turpentine oil comes from a substance in pine trees. It is a member of a class of compounds known as hydrocarbons [4].
MedlinePlus lists turpentine as found in some floor and furniture waxes and polishes, some paint brush cleaners and pure turpentine.

- Product: Creekwood Naturals 100% Natural Pure Gum Spirits of Turpentine, sold in a clear glass bottle.

- Sold at: Amazon, Etsy, eBay and Creekwood Naturals from June 2023 through May 2025.

Look at the front panel and the label of your bottle to match the wording and lettering above before you request a closure.
Why Was Turpentine Pure Gum Spirits Recalled?
Creekwood Naturals 100% Natural Pure Gum Spirits of Turpentine bottles were recalled because they violate the mandatory standard for child-resistant packaging. CPSC says this poses a deadly poisoning hazard to young children.
The bottles contain turpentine, which the Poison Prevention Packaging Act requires to be in child-resistant packaging. Enacted in 1970, the act covers certain substances that must be in special packaging [5].
Special packaging is designed to be significantly difficult for children under 5 years of age to open within a reasonable time. It must not be difficult for adults to use properly.
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
CPSC lists “None reported” under incidents and injuries for all three turpentine recalls: 25-399, 25-397 and 26-469. Swallowing turpentine can still do serious harm.
The same MedlinePlus entry says turpentine can cause extensive damage in the lungs, mouth, stomach and throat. It also lists severe abdominal pain and vomiting blood among the symptoms.
Other listed symptoms include severe pain in the throat and severe pain or burning in the nose, eyes, ears, lips or tongue.
What Should Consumers Do?

- Seek medical help right away for breathing difficulty, severe cough or choking, dizziness, drowsiness, convulsions or unconsciousness.
Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions
Two other CPSC turpentine recalls name the same child-resistant packaging violation. Diamond G Forest Products recalled Georgia Pine Gum Spirits of Turpentine in 4-ounce round clear glass bottles.
Stores in Georgia, Pennsylvania and Tennessee, and Amazon online, sold the bottles from January 2021 through April 2025 for about $17.
Natural Pigments recalled Rublev Colours Gum Turpentine and Mineral Spirits in amber glass bottles with a beige, orange and white label. Blick Art Materials, Art Supply Warehouse, Soho Art Materials and NaturalPigments.com sold them.
Legal Options
No lawsuit, class action or MDL exists over these turpentine bottles. A recall does not automatically decide who is liable or who can bring a claim.
Anyone whose child or family member was hurt by turpentine may ask for an individual legal review. A review promises no result and does not mean a claim will succeed.
Filing Deadlines
Deadlines for injury claims come from state law. Your deadline depends on where you live and on when the injury and its cause were discovered.
A deadline that passes can end a claim even when the facts are strong, so speak with a lawyer promptly if you are considering one.
