Mercury in Beauty Cream Sparks Urgent Recall!
7 Feb
Summary
- Faiza Beauty Cream recalled due to excessive mercury levels.
- Doughnut-shaped bath melt poses a high choking risk to children.
- Asda's teddy duvet sets recalled due to potential metal pins.
Product recalls have been issued this week for various items, including beauty products, bath melts, and home textiles, due to serious safety risks. Customers are advised to stop using these products immediately and return them to their point of purchase for a full refund.
Faiza Beauty Cream, marketed for skin lightening, was recalled because it contains excessively high levels of mercury, a banned substance that can cause severe health issues affecting internal organs, the circulatory system, and the nervous system.
Scotch Mystic's Blackberry and Almond Donut Bath Melt has been recalled as it presents a high risk of choking. Its composition makes it likely that children or vulnerable adults could mistake it for food and choke on its smaller disintegrating parts.
Furthermore, Asda's Red & Pink Harlequin Super Snuggly Teddy Duvet Set is being recalled. A small number of these sets may contain metal pins from the manufacturing process, posing a laceration risk to users. All sizes of this duvet pattern are affected.
