The Santa Monica, California-based company said that their recall was voluntary, and done with the guidance of the FDA.
'With the full knowledge and under the guidance of the FDA, we've decided to voluntarily recall this product out of an abundance of caution,' Christopher Gavigan, co-founder, said in a video posted on the company's website on Wednesday.
Honest Co and the Food and Drug Administration were not immediately available for comment.
Customers concerned by the recall should check whether their bottle has the UPC number 817810014529.
No other products were affected by the recall.
