CPSC Recall: Liizousuda Paint Thinner Lacks Child-Resistant Packaging — Risk of Serious Lung Damage
If your household does oil painting or other art projects that involve paint thinners or solvents, take a moment to check what's in your supplies cabinet.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled Liizousuda brand paint thinner — sold under the name "Odorless Mineral Spirit / Artist Oil Thinning Medium" — because the bottles do not meet the mandatory child-resistant packaging standard. The product was sold on Amazon.com from March 2025 through February 2026 for approximately $10.

The Liizousuda thinner contains low-viscosity petroleum distillates, which are subject to the Poison Prevention Packaging Act because of what happens when a child ingests them. Even a small amount of low-viscosity petroleum distillate can travel directly into the lungs rather than the stomach — causing chemical pneumonia and serious pulmonary damage. This type of poisoning can be fatal.
The product is labeled "odorless," which can give a false sense of safety. Odorless does not mean non-toxic, and it does not mean safe for children. Because it has little smell, there may also be fewer warning signs that a child has ingested it compared to strong-smelling solvents.
What the Product Looks Like
The recalled bottles are clear, with a black cap and a wraparound label that reads "Odorless Mineral Spirit" and "Artist Oil Thinning Medium" in large text. The product is manufactured by Shenzhen Gudebo Technology and was sold through Amazon.com. If you purchased this product between March 2025 and February 2026, your bottle may not have a child-resistant closure.
What to Do
The remedy for this recall is a replacement bottle with a child-resistant closure. Contact Shenzhen Gudebo Technology through the process listed at cpsc.gov/Recalls. Do not discard the product improperly — petroleum-based solvents should be disposed of according to your local household hazardous waste guidelines. El Paso County holds periodic hazardous waste collection events; check elpasocountyhealth.org for dates.
In the meantime, if you have this product at home, store it out of reach of children — ideally in a locked cabinet — until you receive the replacement.
A Good Time to Review Your Art Supplies
This recall is a useful reminder that many everyday art and craft supplies contain chemicals that require extra care around kids. Solvents, varnishes, some adhesives, and certain paints — even when labeled "artist-grade" or sold in craft stores — can be toxic in ways that aren't obvious from the label.
A few general rules for families who do art at home with kids: store any solvent-based products in a locked or high cabinet; read the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for products you're unfamiliar with; and if you're shopping for art supplies to use with young children, look for water-based, non-toxic options.
