Recall of products - August 03, 2018

Produits au rappel

You may have them in your cupboards. Maybe, you use them, still. Beware: they are dangerous, illegal, harmful… and are the subject of a recall or ban by the European sanitary authorities. Underneath, you may find all the cosmetic products targeted by the RAPEX alert system this week: whitening creams containing hydroquinone, hair products containing banned preservatives, and dangerous teeth whitening care products.
