Nail Kit Recalled: Cancer Risk Found
23 Feb
Summary
- Nail art kit recalled due to serious chemical risk.
- Product contained a substance possibly carcinogenic to humans.
- The kit was available for purchase through TikTok Shop.
A widely available acrylic nail art kit has been recalled due to serious health concerns. The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) confirmed the product posed a significant chemical risk. The kit, which included glitter powders, liquid, and a UV lamp, contained 4-Vinylcyclohexene, a substance banned in cosmetic products because it is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
The product fails to comply with The Cosmetics Regulation, raising alarm over its safety. While the kit's origin is unclear, it was accessible to consumers through TikTok Shop. The product listing has since been removed from the platform.
Consumers who have purchased this acrylic nail kit are strongly advised to cease using it immediately. They should contact the retailer from whom they bought the product to arrange for redress. The OPSS emphasized the immediate recall from end-users by TikTok.
