Recall of products - July 3, 2020

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 beard oil, a lightening cream and a hair dye containing ingredients whose concentration is too high and/or dangerous, as well as a soap that can be confused with a foodstuff.
