Recall of products - May 31, 2019

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: a bath and shampoo gel for kids contaminated by micro-organisms and a lightening lotion containing hydroquinone.
